Re: South Colony / Crestone Needle Conditions
Update: We went out to climb it on wednesday and thursday, it was cold (-20), very windy, and snowed a bit. The ledges start appears to be loaded, and though a big slide is not likely a slough would certainly bring you to your death. We went to the base of the direct start and it looks dicey at best in these conditions (imagine hooking on cobbles with little protection). It will either require more snow in stable condition or a large set of testis to do this climb in the winter. If anyone wants some pictures for reference let me know.

Photos? Always love photos!
If it's not too much trouble, would love to see them, thanks.
