Climbing Near Bullhead City, Arizona

Hot, Mojave Desert adventure. Cool formation with mainly loose rock. However, with some traffic, some parts would clean up a little bit. About a 30ish min approach (depending on fitness and vehicle)

Desert domes of quartz monzonite on a ridge that rises from east to west. Rock quality is similar to Joshua Tree and approaches are varied, with some house-sized boulders complicating the approaches to the higher domes. Bounded on the south by Grapevine Canyon, a popular hike, and on the north by the road to Christmas Tree Pass, the area sees very few visitors. First developed from 1977 -1980 by Andy Solow and Dick Richardson, there was renewed development and ongoing bolt replacement in the early 2000s by John Gonzales, Gerry Cox, Mike Baca, and their SCMA crew. It is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Located just 5 miles west (uphill) of Laughlin, NV off Highway 163, look for a signed dirt road (Christmas Tree Pass) on the right if coming from Laughlin. Turn right onto Christmas Tree Pass. Drive about 5-10 minutes passing Grapevine Canyon on your left, Sacatone Wash on the left, Piper Wash on your right, continue driving until you go down into a valley filled with granite-monozite on your left. Depending on what formation you are climbing you will want to park at different pullouts. Note: The main parking for Dali Dome/Frock Rock is on the left with a broken yellow gate.

A 300' Formation with a lot of face climbing potential located on the North side of Sacatone Wash, about 3/4 of a mile WNW of the intersection of Sacatone Wash and Christmas Tree Pass Road, about 1/4 mile NNW of peak 3154. Probably best approached from Christmas Tree Pass Road, a few hundred yards west of where the road turns from North to West. Also accessible from the east end of Sacatone Wash.
