Willow Beach sport routes.

There are a couple routes on the way down to willow beach on the right in a beautiful purple canyon. Maybe 5 bolts or something. I can't find anything about the area on here or rockclimbing.com. Does anyone know anything about these routes?

About 4 miles past the dam? Long purple rock canyon that goes all the way down to the river and the AZ hot springs?. A route not that far in on the left side and another a bit past that on the left? If so, I don't know who put them up, but I climbed the left one years ago (hard 5.10). Not sure about the right one. There is a LOT of bouldering that has been done in that canyon (I think a small amount of it may be in the big bouldering guide even.).

sort of along the same lines. I've always wondered if there are any good routes or deep water soloing lines, down the river from Willow. I've kayaked there multiple times and always had an eye out. not sure if the rock quality is just to crap to make it possible or not. Possibly on the more sheer cliffs near the Gager's Station?

I was kayaking toward Willow beach from Nelsons Landing last summer and spotted one promising spot for some deepwater soloing ... I was to tired/scared to hop on but the rock quality looked surprisingly ok, maybe ill get some coordinates this summer :)
