Description
This spire was named after the 60' Napes Needle pinnacle located in the English Lake District. First climbed in 1886, this ascent is often quoted as being the climb that started the true sport of rock climbing. Starts on the north side of the spire below a line of cracks.
P1) Climb the slab past bolts to the crack/groove. A mixture of bolts and intermittent cam and stopper placements brings one to a good ledge and double anchors. 100' 5.8+ C2
P2) From the ledge follow bolts out right to a final crack that leads to the summit. 60' C1
