The Needles, Warlock Needle, Imaginary Voyage. In August Dick Leversee and I made an ascent of this five-pitch route up the east face of Warlock Needle. The first lead starts in a long, left-slanting jam- crack on the right-hand portion of the east face. Steep jamming ends at a semi-hanging belay far up the wall. The second pitch continues up the diminishing jam-crack to where one must step out of the crack and face-climb upwards to a short left-facing open-book and a sloping belay ledge below a chimney. Steep buckets lead up to the chimney. Climb the chimney to a small ledge below huge blocks. A right-facing corner and a ramp take one to the terrace below the summit block. We climbed the summit block free just to the right of the bolt ladder (F8). NCCS II, F8.
