Rainy days in Chicago Basin
Turns out the Needleton bridge was still intact so we made an attempt on the three Needle 14ers. We were only able to get Sunlight and Windom due to weather. The story and lots of photos are here: Teaser photos: Windom Peak: Summit of Windom: Thumbnails for uploaded photos (click to open slideshow):

Another awesome report. The Needles are high on my list and the train ride just seems to add to the experience. I'm disappointed you didn't headstand Sunlight! (And to imagine, you did all that and still outcored your football pool!)
