The Cirque of the Climbables is a sweet area with many fine routes in the 5.10 range. The rock is excellant Queen Mountain granite with mucho great varnish. The must do route of the area is Treasure of the Sierra Madre (5.10d)*****. Don't miss the Christmas Tree Arete (5.10a)*** as well.
Getting There
This is the most accessible area on Queen Mountain. From the parking area at the roads end to the south, hike towards Queen Mountain's summit. As you approach the base of the south face the area will be seen high on the south face to the left of the summit but well below the skyline. Allow 20-30 minutes for the hike.
