Access Issue: PLACING BOLTS IS ILLEGAL IN THE SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS!
Details
In the early '90's the USFS banned all placement of bolts in the Superstition Wilderness. This unfortunately includes replacement of existing bolts. Violating this ban may result in climbing restrictions on this beautiful area. Please think twice and go bolt somewhere else.
Peralta Trailhead
Right fork twice, east on the Dutchman's Trail #104 (Miners).
This southerly main trailed approach is a circuitous, ~4¼ mile hike that passes the Twilight (Boulder) and Sisyphus Group, eventually reaching the broad col just north of the Miners Needle complex. This is slightly south and downhill of Miners Summit at the head of Miners Canyon where the Whiskey Spring trail forks east. A more direct approach follows the drainage east of Twilight Pinnacle, up to the saddle southeast of the Lower East Wall.
