Pins & Needles

A couple of moves on small sharp holds. The rest is fun on big positive holds. . . (so perhaps most people will prefer to skip the crux and do it as a variation of "I Get By with").

Start behind the thick evergreen tree or a bit right from it (not clear if use the same start as "I Get By with", or somehow to the right of it, or to the left of it and allow "I Get By with" to cross over from right to left. Anyway ... Up to overhang several feet right from the thick tree, then over that and up to the top.

warning: The rock on and around this route has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber - (and if possible, behind a large tree).

Find big thick evergreen tree three-quarters of the way up the steep slope.
