The Asylum Rock Climbing

This is the Hardperson's area at Jack's canyon. The routes range from bouldery shorter routes to longer more continuous lines. There are very few lines that are easier than 5.11 due to the steep unfeatured nature of the rock. The routes vary from extremely overhung roof style routes to dead vertical thin face climbing routes. Overall there are over 60 established routes with around 15 projects, many of them open.

It is generally known as a winter area as most of the crag faces south, so it catches the AZ sun. However during the summer it does get shade until noon on the Main wall due to the steepness of the rock, allowing a few hours of comfortable climbing during other times of the year.

I've heard that this area is less "created" than some of the other areas of Jack's canyon and the bolts certainly aren't as close together so this crag probably doesn't deserve the bad reputation that the rest of Jack's has, so it might be worth checking out if you've avoided the main parts of Jack's Canyon.
