Description

This is kind of a breakway from Papago that you can easily see when traveling on the 202. It's the obvious mini-butte that looks like it could yield a climb or two. In fact it yields three (currently)It's dirty rock that is much harder than the rock at Papago, but yet somehow different from Camelback. I'm not quite sure what kind of rock it is, if any one kind at all.The crag is west facing and gets shade till close to noon. Bring bolts and a drill and bolt a couple more lines, this could be a halfway decent little "crag"
No clue who bolted it, what they used, or how old it is... Climb at your own risk

Getting There

2.763 minute approach. Park in the parking lot for the kids' park that lies on the Southwest corner of College and Curry and just hike to the West side of the one and only climbable formation. If you walk past the sandbox, it seems to be the "quickest" way to the bolted lines. On the West side of the formation, continue South until you see a big purple smear of paint on the rock, and downhill from that are 2 1/2 bolted lines
