Access Issue: Pima County conservation area - archeological artifacts - restricted activities
Details
This area is an outlying mountain section of the Los Morteros Conservation Area and fixed anchors & defacing the rock is prohibited. The conservation area protects prehistoric Hohokam archeological artifacts such as hillside 'trincheras' rock structures, bedrock mortars and petroglyphs. Destruction of cultural resources in the lower Los Morteros Hohokam Village site has been a particular problem in the past and as a result the valley section is actively monitored for theft and vandalism. Leave no trace to avoid access issues.
Description
This route follows the leftmost bolt line (which shares the 1st and 3rd bolt with the adjacent route to the right). The face is flat and near vertical the whole way which makes this climb fairly sustained.
There are anchor bolts at the top and bolts on the face, but all are suspect in my opinion as they appear to be drilled shallow. There is also a fairly long runout to the top with ground fall potential. A natural anchor for top rope can easily be built for these lines by slinging the large block just behind the anchor bolts with an extra long sling or cordelette.
