Ascent Notes for: 18 Pins and Needles - 5.10d Average Rating : 4.17/5

Quite thin at the top. I was dead tired when I did this climb. It felt hard all the way up.

I'm 6'1 and the final tough move off the thin face near the top was greatly eased by my height--was able to tiptoe off a nice little edge and grab the nice handhold about 7.5 feet above it with the tips of my fingers. Most people have to commit to nothing hand-and-footholds here in order to reach it. Of course, my height and size worked against me in clearing the alcove halfway up, so don't hate.

This climb is really fun. The move out of the alcove was fine, it got really very thin near the top. Sent it clean.

nice move past the crux out of the alcove. got short roped near top from a knot in the rope. will redo this one in the future. very fun.
