Bug Spring Wall Rock Climbing

Option 1: Park in the small parking spaces at the entrance of Prison Camp. Walk across the street through the gated dirt area that is used for road crew machinery parking. At the far east end drop into the wash. Follow this wash till it forks. Keep to the right at the confluence, wandering in and out of the wash, following cairns along the way going up two steep seasonal waterfalls (passing them to the left. This approach involves a lot of boulder hopping when in the wash, but there are faint trails here and there along the bank that circumvent the necessity of keeping to the wash proper. Continue till you see the tallest most dominant 100 ft. tall cliff band on the right. Don't give in to the temptation to leave the drainage too soon. Allow up to 1-1/2 hours the first time you go in.

An easier, alternate approach following the contour below the ridge to the NW of the drainage avoids the water-polished boulder hopping/scrambling, the two seasonal waterfalls, and, if the stream is running, potentially wet feet. Stick with the original approach until you pass the very large cement stock tank (abandoned) on the left bank and, just beyond that, passing 2 sets of pairs of metal water pipes bridging the drainage. At that point, angle upslope heading toward a small rock outcropping and, near there, roughly follow the game trail along the contour most of the way in. Trekking poles are useful. https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=14.0/-110.7095/32.3435&trackId=a53d5081-9f80-4aaf-bae9-7483be5bee17&pubLink=WSsADR9RmOlGGCoImNwm5HCZ
