Mystery of the Desert

I was wondering if anyone could describe the decent (rap/walk-off?) from the route, Mystery of the Desert on the Muttonhead in Cochise Stronghold.

Are there any online topos of the Mystery of the Desert or any additional information regarding this route.

Thanks,

AB

It's a walk off. Just walk away from the route towards the saddle between Muttonhead and Sheepshead. There should be a pretty obvious trail going down from the saddle. It will get you back to the base.

The route is pretty easy to follow using the description of this website.

hey bliss-

i have a rough draft topo for mystery and the surrounding routes. it isn't ready to post online yet, but you're welcome to what i have at this point. pm me if you'd like a copy.

also, you can rap down a route to the right of mystery.

regards,

Keep in mind there's a lot more bolts, and one more pitch, than what Kerry's topo shows. The topo and the description on this site, combined, should be more than enough to get you up the route. Great route!
