Climbing is currently allowed in Last Chance Canyon. Continued access is everyones responsibility. MORE INFO >>>
After careful consideration and discussions with Access Fund representatives and members of the climbing community, posting Last Chance Canyon beta will now be allowed on Mountain Project. However, when climbing at Last Chance Canyon we must be considerate of the Forest Services’ current ban on bolting new routes, climbing, and trespassing within the Solstice and Hermit Caves. The concerns of the Forest Service include archeological resources and rare or endangered plant species in the area. Please, tread lightly, and approach the area with a sense of respect.
Access Fund representatives are currently working with the Forest Service in creating a Climbing Management Plan for the area. We can assist them in this process by acting responsibly as a user group. As a community of climbers, it is important that visiting and local climbers share the responsibility in conducting themselves in a way that reflects positively on our larger community. Please respect the requests and policies of the Forest Service in order to preserve our access to this area.

Description
The Hueco Cave is the warm-weather sister to the once-popular-but-now-off-limits Solstice Cave. Featuring very steep climbing up tiered roofs, the routes in the cave are long, pumpy and gymnastic. The left end of the cave features a beautiful though short wall of blue & gray streaked 110 degree limestone with small holds. The routes on this wall are short and savage.
Getting There
Continue Southeast from the Mad Cow Wall. The Hueco Cave is the last and largest of the big caves on this cliff band. If you need to do any sketchy downclimbing, you've gone too far!
