Really fun place......until the F-15 splits the uprights and not only bursts your ear drums but sets off a chain reaction of rockfall.....
Also fun to climb the dragon and top out in a lightning storm that leaves your hair standing on end and your steel gear sparking on your harness.
That's no bueno....

Yes! Stoked on the update KSolem! Thanks for all the hard work over the years to make the guidebook happen. Finally your book & I will go visit the Needles! I can't wait, and hope to have it for this season. I've never been to the Needles, after climbing at places all over California for decades. It's about time to change that! Year of the Monkey 2016…

Hey folks, I know this guide book is taking a long time, but I've helped Kris replace bolts out there and climbed routes with him just to make sure they are accurate for the guide. You have no idea how much hard work he has put into this. I have no question that when it comes out it will be one of the raddest and most accurate guidebooks ever produced, truly a functional work of art. Be patient and get ready to be truly awed by the fruits of his labor.

I got a preview a couple weeks ago when we went climbing in the A Hills. It looks GREAT!
Now, should I sell the old one before it is worthless?!

Nice Don Juan shot there Nathaneal.
I was hanging in camp there, and Yaniro walks over to the fire. Always inquisitive and supportive, "What are you guys climbing tomorrow?"
"Don Juan Wall."
"You know, it's called that because you Don Juan to lead it." Laughs all around.
This was when he and Carson were putting up titanic.
