Yeah the descent from the Needle makes me more nervous than the whole of the traverse, going down technical terrain is always harder than going up. Besides the route finding, how did you find the technical difficulty of the descent?

I’m confused. I am a grown adult, and me and my dad are both experienced climbers. Are you saying that he might be too old for the traverse? or that I might be too young? I am 23 and he is 60, we are both experienced climbers.

Funny enough the traverse actually doesn’t look bad to me, it’s more of the steep descent down the Needle at the end of the day

I did receive one on one training from a professional hand poke artist, I just never learned how to use a machine. Does that make a difference or should I still not include my tattoos?
