Description
The Witch is the major formation just past the Sorcerer. The amphitheater formed by these two rocks holds the highest concentration of Needles' classics. Most climbs are on the west face -- this can be approached by a small access point near the top of the formation.
Descent involves a single rope rap from anchors to the north and a bit of easy downclimbing. The downclimbing can be avoided via a second rap from some slings under a boulder.
