Vulture Peak AZ

has anyone ever climbed Vulture Peak NW of Phoenix located just south of wickenburg?  I see this formation from my job site in wittmann AZ daily and it looks striking from my viewpoint, which means I'm looking from the South or South West of the formation.  So either the southeast or full east aspects seem nearly vertical.

Opland prefaces the section on Vulture Peak with a big skull-and-crossbones warning about loose rock. He also says he chose to not provide much info in hopes of discouraging repeats of the routes. He lists two routes, A2 and A4, which he says were historically significant. They were put up by the OG Phoenix climbers. The face is described as vertical to overhanging for 450', with a total height of 600'.

It sounds pretty awesome, and has been on my "eventually" list for a while. 

Thanks for the info guys

Vulture Peak.

 This dominant 600-foot pinnacle is located about ten miles southwest of Wickenburg. After a few days spent in preparing the route on the east face, in October 1967 Larry Treiber and I took two days on the actual climb with a bivouac in belay seats. The first 450 feet are the most difficult, after which it is a scramble to the top. The route is exposed; it took 21 bolts and 22 pitons, one nut and a cliff hanger. NCCS IV, F5, A4, six pitches.

I had the good fortune of hanging out in their Phoenix shop—Desert Mountain Sports—when Bill and Larry were running it BITD. They were definitely two of the Arizona bad asses of that period. Note the bivy in belay seats part. Geez. Larry was a pretty big guy and Bill was like a little gnome. I wonder how Larry felt about getting hip belays from him. Wish I would have asked them a whole lot more questions back then—and recorded them. Anyone know if Treiber is still around? Maybe you could get some beta on this climb directly from him?

So is anyone else here hankering to climb this thing now, or is knowing the history enough? I've been thinking about it for a few years. It has probably piqued my interest enough to make a recon trip this winter. 

Well I'd be totally out of my element in Aid climbing for sure.  But I'm always up for recon and an adventure

I was up there 3 months ago and was wondering if it was climbable, as I was wandering around the base looking at lines a pretty decent sized chunk of rock fell off and scared a bunch of birds off the face. I lost interest after that.
