There is some information on this website for the Needles in the Southern Sierra. However, this site is no replacement for the currently out of print Needles Guidebook. Sorry. Here are a couple of great resources for The Needles: Clint Cummins 'Needles Rock Climbing' and 'Alexander Cooper's Needles Mini Guide.' The adventure is in YOUR control!
BREAKING NEWS!! The 1983 Stonemasher Rockclimbing Guide to the Kern River Canyon & Environs is available on CD as an eBook (.pdf format). Purchase on eBay, Chessler Books, Action Sports in Bakersfield, CA, Wilderness Exchange in Berkeley, CA or at the Ponderosa Lodge near The Needles!
