Bee alert! Since I never saw any guide to this area, I have no idea what the name of this route is. However, I am adding this picture because we had to bail off this route quickly due to the arrival of several scout bees. <br> <br> We then noticed a hive 30-40 feet to the left in a tree trunk; amazingly, these bees are so quiet we never heard them. (I find this unusual for Africanized bees in Arizona.) Take caution accordingly in the area.

Climber's trail entrance off of huckaby trail if coming from Schnebly road
The hoppable creek crossing (the only one I saw nearby). I imagine storms may cause this area to be underwater at times and/or wash away the log span some helpful climbers clearly took time to create.

Some route locations, to help orient yourself. For scale, notice the climber just left of Pink Hot Tub.
Climber on "Heated Beatle". Beautiful warm December day!
Just above the second bolt. At the crux of the climb
Transitioning past the huecos
Fantastic bottom section on which to try different moves
Fire wall from Anvil approach.
**Not an actual historic event**
Alternate approach using the Huckaby hiking trail, in case the water level in Oak Creek is too high to cross. Goes off-trail at lat/long 34.868938, -111.754062. See comment for more details.
