Description

This route is just to the left of the “eye of the needle” It climbs ledge like vertical limestone. It has a little bit of runout for a single pitch in the middle of nowhere. So if you plan on climbing it just make sure you’re a solid 5.9 climber. There are plenty of bomber holds but the route can be pretty reachy. Long consistant 5.9-5.10a climbing through the whole climb. Awesome warm up before climbing the eye.

Location

Find and locate the eye of the needle. Hike up to the eye by switchbacking some steep terrain. Once you reach the belay this route is on the left and the eye of the needle is on the right.

Protection

I believe there is 8 bolts but there may be more so 10-12 quickdraws is more than sufficient.
