Description Suggest change

Beautiful, breezy, slabby Ridgeline Crag above the Needles Gondola.
Excellent, top quality compact alpine quartzite.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach: About a 20 minute hike directly above the Needles Lodge/Top Gondola Station. Start off on the upper bike loop trail and after 30m turn right off of the trail and head up past a clump of conifers. Head towards the lower part of the main slab.
This may try to keep people wandering up this sensitive alpine wildflower meadow on relatively the same path scrambling up to the base to the bolted climbs.
