Description
Thread the Needle is a super fun sport route up the South face of the Roughneck. With a light rack, it can be combined with the upper pitches of Exfoliation Station for a fun 4 pitch adventure. The first two pitches can be easily linked.
P1. Start at the far left of the South face buttress near large fir trees climbing past 7 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Staying left of the bolt line can make the climbing a few letter grades harder, but monkeying up the large flake on the right is easy fun, 70', 5.10a.
P2. Continue up the wall Threading the Needle between Exfoliation Station and Key to the V Door, 11 bolts to 2 bolt anchor, 5.10c.
Rap route, or continue up Exfoliation Station.
