| This is one of the greatest begginer climbs in central AZ. Super fun. I just hope that this area doesn't become some rich non-climbers backyard someday. I grew up here, did my first free-solo here, and hope to return to climb here again in the future. |

| Great solo climb...or beginning lead.
For a heady start dont climb up but start on the bottom and work your way up thin holds to the first bolt.. definetly not 5.5 LOL |

| Fun, easy climb. From the last bolt to the tree ledge is a pretty good distance, maybe 20-25 feet, with very little for natural protection. Granted very easy climbing just a bit of a mental stretch. |
