7/8/2011 Route: South Face Posted On: 7/9/2011, By: mrschaible Info: Route is doable in summer gear (no axe or traction devices). Only small amount of snow in the broken hand pass. I did the climb in trail running shoes. |

7/2/2011 Route: South Face Posted On: 7/2/2011, By: Nelson Info: For comments on Broken Hand Pass see my comments on the Peak. The Needle is, for practical purposes, snowfree. The exception is the dihedral going up the east gully. The first half has dirty icy snow. This will be slow to melt. |
