Regional > Southern California Reply: What Needles Offwidth Climb is This? Aug 20, 2019 Are you talking about the slab just to the right of the 5.7 approach pitch to Davy Jones?There are two bolted lines. One on the left has three bolts tightly spaced for first 20… View Message
Regional > Southern California Reply: What Needles Offwidth Climb is This? Aug 20, 2019 Wow! Amazing that its been overlooked! It is such a rad pitch.Regarding a better way to start Davy Jones: yeah, that's what I said! It is a way better way to get up on the Davy… View Message
Regional > Southern California Reply: What Needles Offwidth Climb is This? Aug 15, 2019 Well, I posted it up here: mountainproject.com/route/1… Hope to find out the name and some more info on this stellar line! It has certainly been climbed before! View Message
