Drop in a few pieces of gear to get you to the well bolted line. The route gets better and harder the higher you go. There are some interesting holds that create some unique movement. As the name suggests, there are some underclings in the crux areas up high.

Waterdance

Waterdance follows a fun line on the left side of the northwest face of the Water Horse. This is a well bolted (by Needle standards) route with good rock and good holds. The crux is up high, but don't worry, the bolt is at your chest. 

Good jams, interesting footwork, variety and safe gear make this route fun. Work your way up a widish hand crack, transfer into the next crack on the right and then follow it up until it peters out. Place gear, do a tricky traverse left and then cruise up a short face section. You can place small gear in the horizontal crack or just stand up and clip the lone bolt. Do a fun move with the bolt protecting you, gallop up some easy face and clip the anchor.

The Water Horse is a great place to be on a warm day. The waters of Sunday Gulch are cascading down creating a beautiful setting. The routes are within feet of the Sunday Gulch trail.
