Description
This route is the most striking line up the needle.
It will be one of many photo ops.
Lots of pockets, good exposure, and a great summit with beautiful views.
(Be cautious of the block at the top of the arête. Although it's a very tempting crack. A bolt was placed on the face right of it, and not to use the crack on the left to pro.
Climb face and use crack for left hand side pull.)
(First ascent was rope soloed. No consensus was taken for the rating. Any input for a consensus will be considered)
(This is a new area with few ascents so beware of some loose rock) WEAR A HELMET!
