Comments: Bring your helmet and wear it here. Lots of loose rock at the top. Exploring hikers and top roping climbers can easily knock rock loose without any warning.

Comments: Really nice route. The lowest bolt has been clipped (not sure why) so there are only 3 bolts on this route. The top has three bolts for anchoring.

Comments: Since this is a tricky area to find, I thought I would add some detailed directions:
From Chino Valley, turn right (East) onto the signed road for Perkinsville Road. Zero your odometer and follow the below instructions. Keep in mind that these can change and there is more than one route to this climbing area.
After 3.3 miles, the paved road ends. Keep going straight
After 4.4 miles, turn left onto the signed junction with Haystack Road.
After 5.0 miles, stay left (going right leads into a hous... more >>

Comments: I was talking with Rogil today about the bees on this route and I thought it might be helpful to post some additional information on where the bees live.

Just as you start walking up the gully, if you look up and a little left you should be able to see the beehive. It looks like a big stain on the wall.
(thanks for the beta Rogil!)

Comments: Start early! It took our group of four people just under 12 hours from car to car. None of us had done this before, so there was some route finding delays, but if you budget more time than you think you will need, you won't be sorry. The first two pitches are the technical climbing. The second pitch is a short (12') easy climb and the rest of the way to the top is scrambling. Bring your rope with you, as there are rap rings to help your descent from the top. Also, on the final rap down the first... more >>

Comments: Climbed Hart Route today. We were on the lookout for Bees, but they stayed quietly in their home. We started climbing about 8:45a, which may have helped, since it was still cool outside.
