Description 

This area (Technically in New Mexico) is up past Shiprock, past the settlement of Red Valley, and near the Reservation town of Cove. Cam Burns has done some cool looking towers here , and we did a route on a very large Arch called Greig Arch.


Getting There 

Near the Town of Cove New Mexico. Drive from Highway 666 from the east or past the town of Lukachukai and Buffalo Pass from the West.

Tombstone, Regular Route 5.10- A2-  AZ : Northern Arizona : ... : Cove Area
This is a slender tower just north of Cove.The route was first done in four pitches, but could likely be done in three.Remember to leave a rope fixed on the top pitch as you have to haul yourself into the anchors (the pitch overhangs)....[more]   Browse More Classics in AZ

Cove is in Arizona off the N33, just past the New Mexico/ Arizona state line. Cove, AZ is about 15 miles west of Red Valley, AZ. Turn at the Cove/ Oaksprings turn off and head to Cove. A dirt road head up and over toward Buffalo Springs Pass/ Roof Butte and connects back to the N33. A lot of potential out that way with a ton of Mt./ Road biking potential.
