This was my 3rd time on the Needle, but I could have definitely used a refresher before trying to go fast on it. The terrain is super rugged and overgrown with cactus. Definitely recommend scouting this one beforehand. Still, such a classic peak in the Organ Mountains National Monument. Brought 500mL water and one pack of chews that I ate on the summit. Really curious how fast someone could get down this.
