Needles Update

We're in the Bay Area for a couple of days resting up after spending ten days in the Needles. This is a place I'd been wanting to go to for a long time but had never managed to get around to it. I'll post more photos and a full trip report later but in short the Needles are one of the most spectacular climbing areas I've ever been to!
Simply amazing...
