More information:
Moved to Tucson in 2008. I've been climbing since the early nineties and like all types of rock climbing, but my first love is long backcountry routes of any difficulty. So far Southern AZ hasn't disappointed.

Due to a lingering elbow problem, I am easing back into climbing right now.

Chains at upper right of block for maximum leverage. Yikes!  About to embark on the trip that resulted in the first ascent. From left to right: Joanna McComb, Dan Jones, Matts Myrhman. Photo courtesy of Ben Fairbank.  Shot of the first ascent, courtesy of Ben Fairbank (who came along to support the team). There's a little bit less vegetation these days.  Photo of the first ascentionists camped on Lion's Ledge before the climb, courtesy of Ben Fairbank (who was along in a supporting role).  Stolen from Voodoo Child page. The leader is on VC. From where the rope goes straight left, BMW follows a short thin corner (not visible) to the small roof, then takes the thin left-leaning seam to where it ends, followed by a pin and bolted face over more overlaps.
