A framed watercolor painting shows the Spanaway Ice and Rock Education climbing facility at Sprinker Recreation Center. In the background, the five volcanoes of Washington's Cascades are depicted as one skyline. The lure of those volcanoes is what led climbers to build the training facility. SPIRE Rock offers the opportunity to practice technical mountaineering and rock climbing skills. The facility opened in 1976 and was built by volunteers. Boy Scouts of America, Tacoma Mountaineers, Tacoma Mountain Rescue and Safeco were among groups that donated volunteer hours and/or money to the project.ht.Lexicon
