Access Issue: Potentially unavailable to climbing February through July if raptors are breeding here.
Details
This area is historically used by nesting falcons, hawks, owls or other raptors. Breeding season varies but is roughly February through July. Nesting raptors are protected by law.
If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
A small area, but where most of the Summit bouldering is concentrated. A number of high-quality problems are here, especially for those interested in taller problems.
Some potential for development still remains.

Getting There
Follow the Mt. Lemmon Tr. #5 until you see the gray corrugated tin building on the right. From my understanding Quartzite Spring is piped under this structure. Walk a couple of more minutes, looking for a climbers trail off to the left that cuts down to Rappel Rock. The boulders are on both sides of this trail.
