Comments: I would disagree with the upgrade due to holds breaking. I missed the send on the move to the final hold and am definitely not climbing 12c/d. Just my 2 cents, though. Whatever the case she is a crimpy momma!

Comments: The second "bolt" on this protecting the crux is able to be bent with your bare hands. Probably not the best first trad lead. Face moves on the offwidths are super helpful. The pro was solid where it was. A #4 is nice, but you can leave it on the ground if you have the number five for the top. Not the best time I have had out at the McDowell's. Rap off the Northwest side with a 60. Once was enough for me on this

Comments: Seriously good stuff. Really technical and delicate climbing between bolts six and eight move into some .11 territory into a sit down rest and finishes with gigantic jugs. Highly recommended. If you are shorter definite .12a, taller people could be .11d.

Comments: Absolutely fantastic route! Gear is abundant and rock is relatively solid. We did it January 16, forecast was for a high of about 60 and temps were gorgeous. One piece of beta, though...

When rapping the route at the second rap station BEAR RIGHT (climber's right)! We went left into the abyss (with 70 meter rope) and the rope ends barely lowered us onto the first pitch ramp where some shenanigans ensued. A 60 would have left us totally screwed.

Comments: Left a shiny new red Wild Country Rocks stopper on pitch three about halfway up. Worked on it for ten minutes or so and feel like it was close to coming out but no dice. If you take the time to dig it out consider it booty!

Comments: I didn't have any problems with rock quality. Perhaps this has seen more travel. I thought this route was a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend it. Need to come back for the send but thought the route was a lot of fun.

Comments: Awesome jug haul. If you are pulling on small holds you need to look harder. Crux is definitely before the first bolt. Get after it!

Comments: The find route is a little tough and definitely has changed since SQII was printed. Nearing the top of the road you will pass some stored ski lift equipment on your left and come around a left hairpin. Right before the guard rail there is a convenient pull off on the right immediately next to an obvious marked hiking trail. From this point you want to hike back down the road maybe 50 yards. You will encounter a faint trail on the left that moves through a ton of fallen trees and debris. The tra... more >>

Comments: The best route I have done in the area! Fun balance moves lead to jug hauling and the money moves at the end. It is at the very far right end of the wall just to the left of the obvious broken blocky corner (Flying Monkeys). Highly recommended

Comments: At the risk of sounding like I should have been climbing on the Gumby Wall I agree that the find route in the Squeezing the Lemmon II could use some fine tuning. I hiked around for a good long while and ended up heading to the bone yard cause I couldn't find Sky Valley. There are a ton of formations around that area and more than one fifth class gulley. The description on the Mountain Project link would have gotten me there, I think.

Thanks for the work on the book though, EFR, it is very help... more >>

Comments: Really fun pulling on pretty sinker pockets. This is definitely easier if you're tall. I would say that 12b is an overestimation of the difficulty. Felt like mostly eleven pulling into V3 crux up into easier eleven territory. Probably more like 11d? Whatever the grade it is a fun climb!
