Threading The Needle

30m
FA 1968; Treiber, Weaver, Kreuser, Metcalf & Sewrey.
UPDATED BY pseudalpine 

Description

P1: Climb face, then gully and ramp (cl.4) to two bolt belay/rap at window.

P2: Traverse left (south) on ledges past piton, then up any number of grooves to summit (same as last pitch of The Anonymous). There are several old bolts in various places at the window ledge level. A more technical variation (orange Topo Overlay) climbs out the window on the northwest side, zigzagging to arch above and then can finish with Pseudonym's thirty-foot overhanging chimney.

Location

An easy west, then east facing route to the window and summit.

Protection

Medium to large nuts, a few cams. South end of complex, single rope, vertical chain anchor rap west.
