Weaver's Needle from the west. The route goes up to the notch between the summits, then follows the ridge leading up and left. It isn't as steep as it looks!

Comments: A decent route but an awkward, thrutchy crux. However, the upper section flows nicely. I didn't notice anything crumbly. Not in my top 10, with all due respect.

Comments: Words of advice - a single 70 meter rope will NOT get you back to the ground.

Comments: Really not too bad a route. Could use a little moss removal if someone happens to comes by with a brush.

Comments: Spoiler alert sort of-






Tape the second joint (DIP) of your right index finger and it'll be more fun.

Comments: There is a loose block (maybe mailbox-sized) at the first roof, so you may want to have your gear and belayer out of the line of fire. The hold is avoidable and marked with an X. It would be a public service if somebody feels like prying it off.

Otherwise a good climb, interesting moves, and generally solid.

Comments: If you are shorter than the climber in the video, you may find the crux a little more complicated. Have fun!

Comments: Might be fun if you like dirt, lichen, loose rock, death flakes, and weirdly positioned bolts.

Comments: The sport routes are still pretty fresh, so expect lichen and friable rock. As mentioned above, they may clean up with a lot more ascents. Once you've done all the routes at Sherwood and Witches Tower, head up here.
I also wonder if the grades are reversed? I found the far right route harder than the 12a, but maybe it was just me.

Comments: OK, but far from the best at Sherwood, IMHO.

Comments: I thought the sequence was fun and devious. Lichen didn't bother me.
This wall is a good addition to the canyon with crimpy, sharp, powerful moves.

Comments: I managed two unlikely tasks- somehow climbing past the crux bolt, mandating a sketchy reach down and left to clip, and then getting the rope stuck when I pulled it down! Neither recommended.
Nevertheless a fascinating geological feature, a must climb for that reason alone.
