Access Issue: Climbing Access Open - Keep a low profile. Details

Climbing in the canyon is legal, but please maintain a low profile. Please leave no trace to minimize the chances of the park closing to climbers.

Access Issue: Climbing Access Closed Details

I was recently informed, by a friend, that the State Park will be giving tickets to people found climbing in this area. It turns out that these routes are on private property and the land owner has voiced their complaints.

For the time being all climbing at Hueco Point is closed and climbers should keep from climbing here. Its mostly choss anyway. This new development also serves as a reminder that we need to keep a low profile and be sure to practice good Leave No Trace practices and pick up the trash of others when you can.

Description

This is a cliff with tire sized huecos. Unlike some of the other sandstone cliffs at the canyon that have broken down in the sun, Hueco's sand stone is generally hard. It offers some excellent (for the canyon) climbs from 5.7 to about 5.11. A few of the routes go trad, while the rest can easily be top roped via trees at the top.
This is also the most popular sport rappelling location in the canyon so don't be surprised if you are not alone. If there are rappelers there you should still be able to TR the The Dihedral Crack until they leave.

Getting There

At the moment, and in the foreseeable future, this area is closed. Please refrain from climbing on this cliff. It's mostly choss anyway. I have been informed by a friend that the State Park is giving tickets to everyone who is caught climbing here as the area is on private property and the landowner has voiced their complaints. Don't climb here; we want to maintain a positive relationship with State Park.
