"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

SarcophagusLed all the pitches on the Spell and this route with a Gunkie following me up. He was not a happy camper. The 2nd pitch is way easier than the Spell's off-width, but still worth doing. Pulling the roof on the 3rd pitch is really wild and exposed. The wide stuff is relatively easy, bumping one #5 covers it well. By far the best setting in all of the Needles. Do this one after the Spell and you will feel like Superman.
