I've climbed the Spire countless times, with no less than four different leading characters.
The "secret" is Athletics, and a lot of them: I think Lvl 9 is the lowest possible for scaling -- my most recent character, an Elf Ninja, was able to climb it at Lvl 9 after SEVERAL tries, and a lot of damage from continued falls. However, my Pixie Zenmaster from my first playthrough, Lvl 12 Athletics, climbs it without a second thought; ditto for a Gnome Assassin and an Elf Valkyrie, both Lvl 12 Athletics.
All of these characters, save my current Elf Ninja, are resting peacefully in Valeia's Inn, ready to come out and demonstrate their skills to any questioning people
This board, in general, seems to regard the scaling of the Spire as something of an urban legend; let me assure you that it is not, and at the same time offer my praise of the Athletics skill -- with high Athletics, you can seriously mess with this game's already not-exactly-perfect physics modeling. So, go climb a Spire, Nancy
