Wes Ellis at the Spire

The Lost Arrow Spire in Yosemite- the holy grail of highlining. This is the most coveted "send" for any highliner out there. Its the highest highline in the US, and rigging is an epic! Man enough?

Approach: The Lost Arrow Spire is in Yosemite National Park in California. The Spire juts out from the top of the valley rim, between Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Point. The Spire can be approached from two directions. You can hike from the valley floor at Camp 4 and do the "Upper Falls Trail," which will take you to the spire in 4 miles and 3000 ft elevation gain. This hike is KILLER with a pack full of gear, camping supplies, and food! I recommend driving to Porcupine Flats up in Tuolumne Meadows, and hiking the relatively flat 7 mile trail to the spire (follow signs for Yosemite Point).
