A good outing and one of the first routes I did in the area back in 95, before digital cameras. Although most climbs in the Wine Spire/Silver Star area can be done in a day car to car, they are far more enjoyable with a bivvy on the bench at 6400', or at Burgundy Col. Bring the usual glacier gear and bag Silver Star now that you're all the way up here. And before the ice is gone for good.

The Becky route is just about the easiest way to the summit of this impressive spire, and has good rock, somewhat complex routefinding, and a memorable exposed section high above the Silver Star Glacier.

For a good long day combine all of Paisano Pinnacle with the top 5 pitches of this one.
