The Thumb and Needle are on private property and the gravel road part of Curry Dr. is a private road. Currently, there is no public access to the Thumb or Needle. The Town of Estes Park is working on purchasing the property with our partners the Access Fund, Rocky Mountain Conservancy, GOCO, and The Estes Valley Land Trust. The goal is to make this area public with climbing access, but until then please respect private property rights.

Description
This is the first line of bolts to the right of North Overhangs with two cruxes. You'll encounter the first right after the first bolt -- it's a small roof, which you surmount by trending left on slopey holds above the lip. Pull over it on the left, grab a huge pinch, and take a rest. Then finish though a couple more bolts of thin crimps on vertical stone.
Cuidado! It's still cleaning up, but it's worth a lap if you're in the area. It is a bit easier for people who are taller than 6 feet (hard .12b?) but probably around 5.12c for most climbers.

Protection
6 bolts to 2 bolt anchor, or clip a 3 or 4 more bolts and finish on Rooftop Rodeo's anchors just above.
