There is no trail to the actual tops, only technical climbs. A climbing trail branches from the dutchman 104 at the saddle north of Miners. It pretty much follows the ridge up to the base of the spires which have several technical climbing routes on them. It may be possible to do an unprotected climb to the eye of the needle but I havn't tried or even seriously looked.
