Me on the first pitch of the howling.

There are two options for Pitch 1 of The Howling: the left crack system or the right.

Last of my favs from 5-27 ... here's hoping you are active on MP or SoCal climbing and that these will get to you somehow

Leading the slab of the second pitch.

Was at Needles climbing 5-27. Took photos of your summit around 5 pm. Didn't see you at the notch. Hoping to get these epic shots to you. Good send follow climber!

5-27 climber summits. Posted these on SoCal climbing too. Hoping you get these

There are two ways to do the first pitch of The Howling: either the crack system on the left that the climber is rappelling in the photo or the splitter on the right.

looking down from the belay atop pitch one. Betsy is above the 5.9 section, about to cruise through the 5-easy section before the belay.

The original line goes up the left crack system while the variation goes up the splitter crack about 30 feet to the right.
