Can you answer this?

A. 1 Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) comes to mind as one. Several others have anglicised names, Buachaille Etive Mor is "The Buckle" to most of us without an understanding of Gaelic but I doubt if this is what is meant by the question. 2 The only needle to thread that I can call to mind is on Pulpit Route on Milestone buttress at the bottom of Tryfan. The route involves climbing through a hole and then on up; the rope effectively threading a needle. Napes Needle doesn't have an eye in so I doubt that one. 3 The Window is a saddle on Creag Meagaidh (Or "Craig Meggy" to us saxonaches)

A. Not sure about the other two questions - but is the needle Napes Needle on Great Gable? Or is it The Needles off the coast of the Isle of Wight?
