Route Overlay Mars Attacks

Coop bringing up the RC glider we threw from the top. What an awsome flight! Even landed it at the car.

Walking up

Nabbing the jug to finish the slab crux of P4. January 2013.

Mars Attacks

Tiago on the Traverse Pitch, P2.

Mars Attacks (Fin) Approach Options

Keith near top of P1 just before the limestone band. Bring a couple small pieces for limestone band.

Keith airing it out on the limestone traverse. I thought it was a bit spooky. You can supplement bolts with small gear. Plenty of exposure and awesome views!

The juggy traverse.

View from the start of the third pitch, just before it gets crack-tastic!

Mars Attacks is pretty sick

Bennett on pitch #2.

Coming around the traverse on pitch 2. Loved every second!

The final bolted slab on Pitch 4.

As noted: the money crack. Serious fun!

Pitch 1 finishing moves

The start of the 3rd pitch

View of the route

Me leading pitch 1 with Marcy and Casey ahead of me getting ready to start the traverse pitch 2.

Pitch #3. Amy following and cleaning.

Mr. Myers crusez the last pitch!

Looking down the start of splitter pitch 3!!

Ryan Myers giggling his way up pitch 3!!!

Jodie on the traverse pitch 2. She flew through this amazingly exposed pitch.

Tiago on the airy traverse.

Taking a break, enjoying the view atop the 3rd pitch

Stepping around the corner on the traverse

The climbers trail turnoff up a wash, about 0.15 mile past the Devil's Bridge trail turnoff. Look for a cairn.

The crux section on Pitch 1.

A shot of the pitch 2 traverse, Mars Attacks.

Setting up for first rappel, as seen from P4 anchors, for reference. We stayed roped up and belayed each other to the station jic.

Finishing Pitch 3

Looking down at pitch 1 from pitch 2 belay

As seen from the parking area (described in Weekend Rock: Arizona).

dana leading and getting a bit gripped on pitch 2.

Another shot of Jodie on the traverse pitch 2.

One of the first views of the route from the dirt road (FSR 152). We walked the road since it was a bit rough. 50 minutes from car to base of route.

Following P1

Looking down at Natalie coming up the first pitch.

1st pitch slab

Approach to Mars Attacks & Big Corner from Dirt Road (152C).

chris and jeremy

There are a couple of different trails you can turn off on for the approach, but this is the one we came out from on the descent when we followed the cairns and the most well traveled trail. It is just before a downhill in the road, 0.4mi from trailhead.

what an amazing place to be

Keith coming up through the crux slab on P1.The crux is a bit slippery but well protected.

The traverse is so good! One of the best pitches of its grade I have ever climbed!

This block atop pitch 3 is disconnected. Tred lightly.

Todd finishing P2

The fin trail wash

Pointing at the formation where Mars Attacks is located. Seen from the Devil's Bridge trail

The 3rd pitch crack was my favorite part.

almost to the end of this long pitch

Pitch 2 traverse

the traverse

There seems to have been a big recent rockfall that demolished the slope at the base of this climb. The last bit of trail is gone
