Weaver's Needle FREE SOLO Climb - Superstition Mtns, AZ

Weaver's Needle is an iconic formation in the Superstition Mountains, which are east of Phoenix, AZ. For most, this is a technical climb with gear but after researching it I thought it would be easy enough to free solo and then rap back down. I was not disappointed! It was like a poor man's version of the Grand Teton climb, but the chimney here did remind me of the Owen Chimney. I started at Peralta trailhead and went up the "standard" way on the west side.
