Hitching Post and hordes of tourists.
Bit of a surreal route, you get wild mountain-style scenery like this and then look down from the summit to see people getting out of SUVs with slurpees...
Twilight rap
Parking lot right below Hitching Post was just starting to fill up. We were warming up for the nearby classic God's Own Drunk 5.9
Halfway up-- some interesting climbing for 5.2!?
what a beautiful view from the top
The Hitching Post (with The Fan behind it) taken from the Needles Eye parking lot. The route follows the blue line from the right corner of the parking lot up and behind the Hitching Post then it climbs the last twelve feet up the steep left side of the summit on big (but very exposed) holds.
Best to do this climb once the road has closed since you belay from the road.
