Comments: There were only 5 bolts on this when we climbed it today, there is a bomber #2 Camalot placement before the anchors if you need more pro.

Comments: This route didn't seem to wander that much, I stayed on the right side of the bolted line the entire time.

Comments: Keep on bolting, the SLV could use more sport climbing areas! What I'm saying, though, is that I have a hard time believing 3-4 bolt routes are worthy of classic status. This area looks like a galaxy with all the stars your giving these routes. Don't get me wrong the rock looks good for the most part and I bet the routes climb well. Unfortunately it's a bummer when all that ends in 20 or so ft.

Comments: Has anyone climbed the massive roof crack, and if so, how about some route info? In my Oak Creek Climber's Guide, it says there is another face route, but I have not been able to find it. Does anyone have info for this one?

Comments: Wet Mountain grades have always felt a little inflated, but this one is definitely not! The crux on this one would be a proud onsight, 1 the gaston is heinous, and 2 it's hard to tell what you're trying to get to.

Comments: It seems like there is some FA bias going on here, these routes look super short with choss at the start of some of them!

Comments: The 1st and 2nd pitch can be linked and a #5 is optional, we only used it on the 1st pitch. If you link the last 2 pitches save 2 #2s and 2 #3s to do the 5.9 pitch.

Comments: The first half is a choss pile, and the second half is less than par. It doesn't matter how much you "filed" this route, it would still suck!

Comments: It's been a couple years, but I remember there being some suspect bolts on this thing.

Comments: It's easy to avoid the crux on this one, keeping it in the 5.10 range.

Comments: Directly below site 6 there is a small pinyon with webbing to make a clean rappel to Corner Pockets.

Comments: There is now a sign marking the trail to get to the Cactus Rose Cliff, it is a short walk East from the small parking area below the Piggy Bank. Please do not use the trail directly from the parking area.

Comments: The largest piece of gear I used on this climb was a 0.75 Camalot and would recommend having one or an equivalent size to it.

Comments: This thing has potential but couldn't get past all the vermin excrement in the pods, piles of it everywhere!

Comments: I followed the bolt line directly on great pockets and fun moves never felt harder than the grade given, it's still worth doing because you can get a TR on Little Mecca from this route.

Comments: Did this route again this fall and chains were added to the 2nd pitch anchors for your rappelling pleasure. Bring about 10' of webbing to sling the tree at the top of the 3rd pitch, that's if you wanted to bother with the easy 5th class climbing. I haven't had any problems with a rope getting stuck, but you can always walk off after the 3rd pitch.
