Route Info

Inspired by WizzyGirl’s original counter-clockwise route, Spiralling the Spire, ManInAWhiteSuit adjusted the line to increase the difficulty and place more emphasis on the Needle’s barer sections. Otherwise, it remains very similar to the original—he even the variation name is only an “L” different.
