About Dr. Needlepoint:

From the Cornice area, follow the trail downstream about 75 yards to the next dramatic cliff dropoff on the left. Spot a prominent, steep, upstream facing wall -- the Dr. Needlepoint routes and Blitzkrieg climb this face. Rap in to the Dr. Needlepoint wall and use the poisin ivy gully descent for all others. Poision ivy gully is the next vegetated ravine you will come to immediately after Dr. Needlepoint.
