Someone added a random bolt near the top "Arm and Hammer"...noticed it a couple of years back, but it's still a classic. Reminds me of our hand-drilling, first ascent forays every time I lead it. It's still "yikes" all the way to the anchor!

I'll upload our topos once I find them, but we called it the Pump House Crag and it's way cool, filled with spiller finger cracks and fun, Red Rocks style, face climbs. If you live the area, you have to check it out, and if you're on your way to the Creek, it's worth a stop. Great camping too!

To the climber's left, we later established "Sinco De Mayo"-150", 12 bolt/gear lead requiring 1-2" protection; it’s also 5.10 and a classic sporty trad climb to the same anchor point.

By: ian altman When: Nov 6, 2006 | view comment >> | Comments: I've taken part in some of the development of this area. The routes are still in the process of being cleaned, but have real potential for being a good addition to Durango climbing selection. The best routes have turned out on the lower angled (south end of the wall) and constitute some great moderate sport climbing ranging in difficulty from 5.7-5.12b. All the routes are rigged with chains.The land owner is on to us though, and he has no intention of allowing anyone to climb there. Our litigio... more >>
