Ascent Notes for: Needle Magnet - 5.7 Average Rating : 1.86/5

It is what it is. It is short and if you are a hot shot I'm sure it will not interest you. For some of us mortals it is a good place to warm up or show a beginner a few things.

Don't chop this route....even though it takes gear, no trad leader in their right mind would even think about doing it. Maybe a good one for someone who wants to be a trad leader, they can plug gear, and clip bolts for uber security and have fun thinking they're leading trad....

Was ok. Wasn't too hard and was kind of boring. It was really short.

so you bring you 8 year old cuzin climbing for the first time and he wants to try a crack. there you go. if your doing it yourself dont waste time tying in.

Nice and mossy

Easy and mossy. Not fun at all. By the way, it's bolted, suck up and deal with it. Stop the crying! If ya don't want to clip the bolts, you don't have to.

Very shallow crack on low-angle rock. Not much to recommend it except as a first route for total newbies. Easier than its listed grade.

No comment

I thought about chopping it but then thought it is a good reminder to the idiot who bolted it.
