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 obvious crack on the right side of the wall. A bouldery start leads to the crack and some combination of hand jams, layback, stems, pockets and crimps. It eases off a bit as it goes up but it's sustained enough to maintain interest. It takes gear well and has good stances once you climb past the start. Two anchor bolts on top. Walk off
Location
Rightmost end of the south face directly below the huge boulder on top
Protection
Medium cams and stoppers. Two top anchor bolts
