That's Crawford Needle, search for thread on this subject.

And there ain't no walk up it!

Try "Mendicant Ridge." That was previously the local reference for this lonely ridge.

Kor is rumored to have climbed it first. I actually think Grossman did the second ascent. At least he planned to because he asked me to come along and in a rare moment of sanity I said no. I'm thinking Ken Sims also has climbed it.

I know Jimmy's lurking, he would know. Seems like there would have been ascents before Chuck reached the scene, Newberry, Dickerson? Phil, whaddya know?
