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.
Nice move on good holds up to the third bolt with some tough thin moves. Footwork is paramount, as it is very sequenced. I stepped up into the undercling to get through the crux. My partner and others sought a different solutions. Working the upper section, the incline eases a bit, but the hold get smaller and more balancy. Before you know it, you'll be at the chains.
Location
Start off in the first big flat spot coming up from the Hueco cave. Between Shakka and Mad Cow.
