Thanks for the comment! The view up there is just incredible, you can see every direction with no problem at all. The hike you took sounds really interesting, I don't see how you could hike north on the ridgeline too far though, it gets super steep in those areas! At the pass just below the needle, the peak to the south was pretty close to a sheer drop, and I didn't think it was too much better beyond that. Sounds like fun though!
Beautiful video of the Organ Needle ascent/descent! Many years ago I ascended Fillmore Canyon and then proceeded north along the ridgeline, but never summited. However, from various vantage points I could see the missile range main area, the White Sands, San Augustine Peak (Organ Pass area), Las Cruces, New Mexico State University, and other points. Enjoyed your video hike immensely; very well presented!
