Farewell Mr. L.Arrow

There is never any real crux, maybe a bit strange near the top. Once past the wide section a short boulder problem that can be protected with smaller cams will be encountered. The remainder of the pitch scrambles over some large loose blocks to a nice tree belay. This portion of the Needle sees little visitation and probably resembles what the true summit must of felt like before the throngs of people arrived.

When approaching the standard route up Weavers Needle on the west side, branch off right, right before the final scramble to access the Class 4 Route. You will be able to see the one large multi-armed saguaro on the climbers path while on the approach. The route begins above and right of this saguaro on a pretty good ledge. The obvious but short crack system will be directly above. The climb tops out on the south, false, shorter summit of Weavers Needle. From the summit, scramble north to an outcropping that overlooks the chockstone, rappel rock for the west side descent of Weavers Needle. Rappel of the outcropping of rock down to the chockstone.

Camelots to #5, one rope.
