Description
Climb two pitches to the Eye of the needle or hole in the wall. Pitch three threads the eye and climbs the back of the wall (opposite the road) via bolts to gain the summit of the small tower. Rap back into the eye from bolts to the right (east), then two raps back to the ground. A cool summit register is located at the belay station in the needles eye.
