An easier version of 'One Ring', also has only two bolts, flare climbing, and great gear. Starts 15' left of 'One Ring's' flake, at the left end of an arching crack. Link the two silver rings into the seam above. Crux is at the bulge before the crack widens. Step right into water chute to finish the same as 'One Ring'.

Two Silver Rings

One Ring to Rule Them All

Just another great Needles route, face climbing around a thin flare. Begin just left of 'The Eye of Sauron's' bolt line on a right facing flake. Take flake up to first bolt and a series of thin cracks. Sustained climbing with good gear takes you to the second bolt. Keep on the same path into the water chute straight above. Excellent belay perch. Hardware replaced by BHCC, 6/19/15.

Part of the Near Downs Ridge line, this secluded crag has high quality rock with AM shade and PM sun. The north face is located in narrow corridor chock full of ferns and other various flora. Along with the numerous routes of all grades on the Near Downs, West Lies Mirkwood and the Far Downs this is a great place to get in a lot of high quality climbing without moving too far.
