"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters." - Norman Maclean

Re: Peak or Needle?
Thanks for the replies! Looking like I'll go needle if weather cooperates. I have the 14ers app and have the photos and route description downloaded for use offline. I used it on Quandary's west ridge and referencing the pics is super helpful when on route to stay on route. Here's to hoping for a weather window
