Description This is the second climb from the left. It cruises up on good rock just to the right of the large flake. An awesome first lead as there is a bolt about every 8 Ft. No excuses here. Good for the grade.
Protection About 7 well placed bolts to chains on a nice ledge

| Good first lead. Easy to Z-clip near the top as two bolts are really close together. Good route to learn this lesson on the hard way, so another reason it's a good first lead. |

| Again, easy to z-clip (I did it at first). A little bald below the anchors but easier if you stray to the sides. |

| Twisted Gumby was my first lead climbing outdoors! Great climb for a first timer; however, the height of the cliff plus the height above the Mt.Lemmon highway makes one feel quite high in the sky so it may be somewhat intimidating for a new climber. This route holds a special place in my heart! |

| At 5'0" this route posed more of a challenge than I expected. With a few ascents I consistently had trouble around the 2nd bolt from the top. Might want to keep this in mind if you are taking out some newbie pint sized folks! |

| Please be aware that this crag is closed to climbing between February 1 and August 31 for nesting peregrine falcons (or at least according to my understanding and the notice on this page). |
