My first trad climb in the Needles of South Dakota. One word. Wow.
Standing on the top was a trip to say the least and the Needles style simul rap was interesting.

The infamous simul rap off of Tricouni. Racing to beat the afternoon thunderstorm from hell. Two minutes before this it was a bluebird day. Rain came, dumped for a few minutes, then the sun was back and we were back on the rock like it never happened.

Mark Trainor ties in below the overhanging pinnacle. Pro is 1 pin, 1 nut and 2 bolts for a runout finish. Manuel Rangel took photo after another scary lead.

There is a solid pin with a ring before the crux, step right and lookup to see the second pin on the route

The crux is not that hard. Make sure you go to the right for a few feet before going up.

Once you get up there there are three humps and two saddles. You can ride them. For me it turned out to be more confortable to setup a hangomg belay with slings around the middle hump. This way I could see the second coming up and the it was easy to lower him after he got to ride the Nail too.
