I did this route, North-Middle-South Needles, via Paton last year (as a club trip). We biked up the Seymour Reservoir, and accessed the North Needle from the west side, which I was told involved a different line than what makes sense from Norvan Falls. We descended to our bikes via Hydrolic Trail. I thought it was quite enjoyable, though water is lacking (there was a bit between Paton and the North Needle).
