Description
This is a classy Needles adventure route with good exposure! With modern gear it protects pretty well. Great warmup for it's big brother 'The Naked Rib' on the Bartizan.
Pitch 1) Climb crack until it ends, move left to the exposed rib past a good bolt and several gear placements. Continue up the rib past a very old bolt protecting a short steep section, all the way to a 2 bolt anchor and good belay seat.
Pitch 2) Pull crux? off belay and continue up the rib finding good gear to an airy step across move to more good gear. (right below the step across will be a 2 bolt anchor for 'There and Back Again') Shortly after passing another new set of chain anchors, you'll arrive to 'Thrains' anchor. (2 good bolts, 2 buttonheads and cord)
