NW Ridge of North Peak and N Ridge of Conness. I was hiking down to do the W Ridge of Conness, slipped and fell on my ass, and I avulsed a chunk out of the palm of my L hand and decided to call it a day--got food, beer and neosporin at the Mobil.
I've done both ridges on Conness multiple times, but this was the first time I'd done the NW Ridge of North Peak. The scrambling is fun, but when it ends you still have to slog talus and scree quite a ways to get to the summit.

WyoRockMan, where abouts in the Big Horns is that? looks like some nice granite. Telemon01 it was nice to meet you the other day. Too bad I had to work as I would have loved to rope up. Those are some nice pictures of the needles you took. If you can make it down in the fall we should climb the tower. Also I would love to make it up to the Wedge sometime. Mike

Mike, thanks for the local beta- it was great to meet you as well. Spearfish has a real nice vibe. We look forward to heading back your way. And for sure, let us know if you head to the Batholith.
Needles bump- a real gem

P1 of Loose Ends --> Pear Buttress at Lumpy Ridge. Man, it was hot as hell up there. Can't wait for some cooler weather.

Climbed on a rope for the first time in a month by getting out for three days in the needles with my son and my brother. Slept under the stars, camped with a good crew, mountain biked, and swam. Good times.

Mike- There is an abundance of small to 2-3 pitch granite crags across from Steamboat point. I think it is called Little Tongue River crags, not a lot of development on the smaller remote points. But I'm thinking of just heading over to the Needles instead of bushwhacking and stream crossing after seeing your pictures!

I've been avoiding this one due to the stories about the crowds. Bit the bullet and went for it this morning. Glad we did, really fun climbing and we never waited even a single minute!
