Description 

Suburban Hangover is the first route you see on the Needle. There are a series of seriously overhung sport routes and SH is the farthest to you left. Crux is getting up to the first bolt. Stick clip is highly recommended. As a fall would be most painful. Don't underestimate the 10c rating when bouldering up to the bolt.


Protection 

6 draws and a long sling if wanting to top rope. This anchor shares with the route to the right as well.

The first bolt is a bit high, but there is a nice jug to clip off of. Just gun for it and have a good spotter.

gillet's book says four bolts, but it's really five bolts to a two bolt anchor.
