| From S. Colony TH in a day. This is a horrible route and not really a "traverse" at all. I would not recommend it to anyone. | |

| Nice traverse, the last pitch was nice and airy. | |

| It's 10:00 am, you are at the summit of the needle in a total whiteout, and a group is rapelling onto the traverse from the top. Why not keep going? Only got stuck in one sketchy section mid-way through the traverse that was hard to protect. | |

| We came up and over the final pitch to summit the Needle, the top was sticking out of the clouds, maybe my most memorable moment on a mountain. | |

| Great scrambling all along this traverse, with the best at the end. Nice steep face climbing on good knobby rock right below the Needle's summit. | |

| my second great fourteener traverse. it wasn't really hard like expected, but the scrambling on the needle side was pretty cool. 2:08 for the traverse. jamie | |
