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 >>

(thanks for the beta Rogil!)

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. High in the mid 60s. There is sling on the first set of rap bolts and more sling around the tree on the 2nd pitch.
