Comments: Nice first pitch for 5.9 leaders. You can traverse to the anchors for "Whine & Bruises". EXCELLENT pic!

Comments: Durrance standard rack: C4's #.3 thru #4. BD Stoppers #4 thru #6. 6 quickdraws and 6 24" runners. The second pitch will accept a #5 C4, but if you pay attention a #4 works fine. Also, many folks use a 4' runner up high in pitch two as well. If you wanna go "old school", a full set of hexcentrics and BD stoppers will also do the trick!

Comments: Sorry for the lousy pic. I remember seeing pictures of Heidi Badaracco (sp?) in Climbing Magazine back in the mid-80's on these boulders. I've scoped them out, and it looks like there are OLD anchors on top of one or two. Anybody have any beta?

Comments: I think the Black Hills Climbing Coalition contacted the first ascent party and were given permission to add bolts to this route. Thinking there were 12 or 13 total now. VERY well protected!

Comments: Being a Tower local is, in fact, sometimes difficult in June.
During the Climbing Management Plan process, I was serving as the "Grand Poo-Bah" of the NE Wyoming Climbing Club. From day one, the vast majority of locals supported the plan... and some even took part in the initial "Cross Cultural Education" functions the acting Superintendent coordinated between Native American Tribal Elders and climbers.
My... how times change.

Comments: Sorry I wasn't more specific. Anchors ARE intact... but I thought there were chains or webbing at one time.

Comments: Just met Paul 2 weeks ago in the Needles Eye parking lot. In the short time we spoke, it was clear to me that his reputation of being a GOOD MAN was accurate. His soft spoken nature and eagerness to share his passion for climbing was welcomed and appreciated. Wish I'd have met him years ago...
My wife and I will climb all this weekend in the Needles and do as many of Paul's routes as possible...
God Speed...

Comments: WEAR A HELMET! This area is called the "Bowling Alley" for a very good reason! Regarding protection, the left crack will eat as many #2, #3 and #4 Camalots as you can beg, borrow or steal...
