Three Needles close up

Three Needles close up

Close up of the summit tower on Three Needles. I stayed on the ridge from "T10" and was presented with this jumbled mess to figure out how to summit. I poked and prodded several lines before settling on a loose 4th class chimney. The descent was easier as I was able to find a notch in the ridge to the south of the summit that led to 3rd class climbing into a gully with a short 3rd class chimney back out onto the ledges below this area.
