Comments: Amazing, huh? 3-4 thousand feet or so lower and you are surrounded by Saguaro cacti.

Comments: Back in '94 or so I lead this. The only way off I could find were the anchors for wrecking ball. It was so awkward getting over the edge and weighting these anchors that I separated the cartilage from one of my ribs. To this day I have a nice knot there to remind me of this day.

Comments: If you fall before you get to the first bolt you are going to really regret it.

Comments: Back in the early '90s I lead this. My partner said I didn't need the #4 Camalots. I took both of them and used them both.

Comments: I thought that the crux was going from the last bolt to the anchor. The steep jug haul above the awkward slabby traverse to the left was fun and much easier than it at first appears.

Comments: Making the last clip was a little difficult. Go to left as you approach anchors for easiest climbing. Be careful by 1st bolt as there is a large lose block. Overall a fun route. 10a/b.

Comments: Not too hard until you get to the 2nd to last bolt. Took 3-4 lead falls at crux and still couldn't do the move, had to step in a sling to clip last bolt. Felt at least 11a to me. Even on TR I couldn't do the move without a hang.

Comments: Poorly bolted. There is still lots of loose rock prior to 1st. bolt. My partner cratered when a well chalked up hold pulled just as he was pulling onto the big ledge below 1st bolt. He got a nice cut on his head and cheek and bruised his heel bone but no other damage done. To his credit, he led the route about 15 min. later. The climbing itself was pretty good for as long as it lasted, which wasn't long.
