Silver Threads
With Michael from Israel. 7 routes in 6 days that I had yet to climb at the Needles. Success on all accounts. P&P was the best one of this trip and, short of the Spell, my favorite moderate route in the Needles. Gorilla Warfare, Witch Doctor and Pit and the Pendulum are all much better than Sliver Threads. But if you have done them, then Sliver Threads and Black Rabbit are worthy and in the exact same location. Don't be confused by the bickering on MP.com regarding this route, the one guy is a complete blowhard. Go ahead and pitch this one out in three pitches. No one likes to lead 200'+ pitches more than me (alpinist by trade). You will enjoy those first two pitches much more if you split them up.
