The Solstice 

Unless no where else or to cold to climb i would avoid this area at all costs. The rock is soooooooooooo loose and the routes are so long. 100ft of choss. If for some reason you do venture to this area wear a helmet and stand as far away from under the climber as you can.

"100ft of choss"—You say that like it's a bad thing :-)

You must have gotten on different routes than I did. I knocked off one small rock the whole time, and that was while being lowered.

I wouldn't agree with those statements. I did several of the routes ropesolo at The Solstice Wall in february 08 and thought they were fun! I don't remember any loose stuff. And I had the place all to myself.

I'd have to agree with Perin. It was all tight pockets and edges for me. Did you do the .12 in the middle of the steepness? The one with the cool fist jam in the Hueco? Part of the top of that was the only loose stuff I saw on the wall. It seemed like that part of the wall had seen a lot more water in general and maybe that's why? who knows? I still think its a cool crag and a lot of fun for groups with a wide variety of ability.

uh.. Ten, there are no 12s at the Solstice.

For the record, this place is, in fact, a flaming pile of fragile and sharp choss nuggets.
I'll add some more routes here soon, who knows? maybe people will get psyched?

definitely confused. this place blows. but the soul asylum is pretty dang fun.

A nice assortment of mostly thin and technical slab/vertical climbing...with several routes in the 100ft+ range. Indeed the rockquality isn't like Kelly's or some of the other better crags in the area...but this is a good visit for the 5.10-11 climber after sending the stuff below...or for anyone looking for tons of mileage!

Holy Chert! What a cool little cold weather climbing zone! Thought provoking climbing on featured (sometimes sharp) stone. Seems solid enough to me, nothing broke on us while we were here. I will say though, it takes a route or two to get used to the rock.
