Pins and Needles block at the Youies 16-Mar-2012 At 5:42:00 PM harold

There are a couple of bolted routes on the back of Pins and Needles block that aren't described anywhere. Just wondering if anyone has any info on these climbs. They look like they have been there for a while. I will try them soon anyway, they look around grade 20ish.

I was keen to do Pins and Needles, which is a pretty cool climb, so I have replaced the rusty carrots with some shiny stainless. Same for the grade 18 the left which looks OK too.

And just so people know about these 80's vintage carrots, some had 40mm of steel in the rock, but 2 of them were only in 20mm. Even though they were well stuck in there, I wouldn't be trusting my life to them.
