The Gilty Hooker
Description
Beautiful crystal pinching on great rock in an awesome location! Starts in your face with a small bulge to a dead vertical crimper section. After two bolts, proceed to a short vertical finger crack which takes gear. Continue above this on techy 5.9 past one more bolt and a very small tricky gear placement in a horizontal pod. Easier terrain leads to your last piece in a mid sized horizontal which you use to traverse about 10 feet right to a band of crystals you can use to gain the summit.
As you might guess, the route was done ground up by two hookers covered in glitter.
Location
The route begins on the west face. Look for the two bolts down low. By the end of the route, you will have traversed onto the south/southwest face, which faces North Needle. Single rope rap of at least 60m will get you down. Do not recommend lowering due to drag.
Protection
3 bolts and a rack of your smallest pieces up to a .75 or 1 BD camalot. Bolted anchor at the top currently set up with cord but no rap biner.
