Comments: I replaced the main anchor and chains here on 5.19.2013, which is used by all three climbs on the wall. I also replaced missing hangers on the three climbs as many had been stripped off?? I have yet to remove the old anchor ( very rusted and 24 years old ), but will do ASAP.

Comments: The bottom of this route seems to have cleaned up a good bit. I enjoyed it. Calling it anywhere in the 12 range is a S T R E T C H for Mt. Lemmon.

Comments: A 60M rope works with rope left to spare. We just put a long sling on the anchor at the ledge then went straight into the climb. We didn't have any issues for rope drag over the ledge.

Comments: There is a ledge a few bolts off the ground. Today while climbing I fully weighted and then pulled off a brick sized rock when coming up onto the ledge. Luckily I still had some weight on feet, thus no ass over tea kettle fall backwards

Comments: So...........the new Mussy Hooks are nice, I guess. I never had problem with the chains. I guess cutting seconds off of your top rope transfer could be nice if you really got to get those pitches in though.
While guiding today I took down two sets today that were placed up there with carabiners that were taped closed with athletic tape?? These were on the Alcatraz Wall.
I am not trying to be a jerk to anyone who is going to replace hardware at our local crags, but let's try not to ghetto ri... more >>

Comments: Fun climb. 3 rests with very interesting climbing in between. The boulder problem right off the ground is a kick in the pants. We got on this without knowing what it was. What are the other routes to the left and right??

Comments: Fun route indeed. The upper boulder is way stiff, and it seems that some nice cool temps would really help with sticking to some of those holds. Also, I left a draw high on the route (6.4.11). I will be back for it so this should not be considered "booty". Thanks.

Comments: Went to replace this yesterday. I was the one who pulled it out, by hand I might add. I forgot a wrench, oops, so I got to carry the drill all the way up there for no reason. Training weight I guess. Hopefully will get it replaced before too long.

Comments: "Sport Wankers need to climb too." What an amazing rational. Lets bolt The Nose too. Who cares if its been done in better style. I would also be happy to get in on any removal effort. I think there are more than enough instances where talking has not worked so it would seem some policing may be in order.

Comments: WOW! It is a sad state of affairs that something like this exists when the early development of Cochise had such a strong ethic and bold style to it. Unfortunately I doubt the person really cares, whoever it was. How do you rationalize something like this??

Comments: Climbed this yesterday. WONDERFUL!!!!! If you are looking to lighten up on the rack I suggest just draws and no gear. We carried the suggested rack and placed one nut on the entire climb and then saw that there was a bolt not too far away.

Comments: Agreed on Blood Meridian. This is my all time favorite novel. Hard to really put into words. I must read it again soon. McCarthy is amazing.

Comments: Tough one to rate as its only one hard move right off the start and then into the V5. Hard V9 or soft 10 seems right. I am sure that this would be much harder for someone under 6 ft., but hey thats bouldering. Cold helps too. Very fun moves, bummer about the glue job.

Comments: Narcos is completely different. It starts low and busts left. You actually climb dow which is cool. There is one very hard move that surely gives it the 10 grade.

Comments: The V8/9 variation is actually called Cop Killa. Not sure what the V6 is that is called Cop Killa on the site. Many lines on this boulder and can get confusing. I thought it was more like 8.

Comments: Anyone know where "Air Command" came from?? This has been on the locals bouldering circuit for at least over a decade and it was always known as Hairpin roof right. I think the V6 described here is "Hairpin Roof".

Comments: Isn't "significantly harder" than 12a called 12b. I would be willing to go 12b on this. I thought it was harder than Disfigured Foreigner for sure. The top will get you attention too.

Comments: When we first went out there I had heard V7/8, but the sequence beta that we were shown did not seem like the best and two of us flashed it with better beta. I think 5 was fair. It might be hard 5.
