Description Suggest change

Secluded untouched expert bouldering. Loose volcanic tuft with hundreds of route potential for the adventurous. The rock surrounds the lake in all directions. Tons of hard highball problems and lots of easy ones as well. Very wild area -- please respect the land and don't kill the vegetation. Very quiet and beautiful.

Getting There Suggest change

South on I 19 from Tuscon. Take Arivaca Road exit. The exit is between Green Valley and Tubac. Take right off exit, then take next left which is Arivaca Road. Go 23 miles into downtown Arivaca, "don't blink or you'll miss it."

Take left after post office onto Ruby Road, Stay on paved road for about 7 miles and take left onto Arivaca Lake Road. Follow dirt road for a few miles to lake. Boulders and cliffs are all around the lake; the north and west sides being the best. No trail yet. It's all fresh.
