The Needle

Organ Needle is the higest point of the Organ mountains in Las Cruces. The climb assends 4,000 vertical feet in only 2 mi. The trail is overgrown by brush and disapears for long sections acrros the granite rock faces. We had to scramble and climb over some serious stuff.

Here's the route:

Some pics along the way:




Yeah! The summit:


It was a hell of a time. I'm glad I did it before I become a flat-lander.

I totally saw a speedbump we can climb once you get up here.

I set the picture with the highest altitude as my desktop background and have'nt had a break from getting blown by girls who are impressed by "my" trek to the summit. Thanks Raven.
