Beating the heat in So AZ?

Hey MP, |

Ah yes, I am quite aware of the Lemmon. Great climbing up there, but not many long routes (that aren't closed for the falcons) that I'm aware of. I got that multipitch itch for this weekend, you know what I mean? Are there any long routes you'd recommend that are high on the mountain? |
|
I thought this was pretty good. |
|
Thanks Christian, that route looks like a good option. |

I did Babo from Flagstaff: 6 hours of driving, 5 miles of hiking (up), Stellar ('5.6')climbing pitches. Long decent, it was night time by now. We camped. Fun times. - oh, it was April and snowy on top. |

It gets light early if you hike in at dawn, its 45 mins car to base of TTTD |

Paul, head down to Sheepshead Friday night, get up at five and you should have plenty of time to send. Or go to the reef. Tons of stuff to do there. Go through the guidebook and you will find a ton of stuff to do at the Reef. Or go with the flow and get on shady single pitch routes. |

I have done the early morning Sheepshead thing when it was still hot in October. It is certainly doable, but after climbing there for two days in the 90s, I was completely worked and told myself not to do that again. |
