Granite Mountain

if you climb 5.9 try a 5.7 at GM the lines are all well worth their grade

There isn't much in the way of feed back for such a great area.
Years ago while on a desert climbing tour, I visited this area and camped on what was known to us as the "front porch"a large ledge that overlooked miles of desert. At the base of an overhanging cliff there was an obvious fire pit that had to have been used for centries.My question is has anyone else built a fire in this pit and what did you see illuminated on the face of that overhang! The image we saw was ere enough that we moved our camp that night! This image has haunted me for over 25 years!
The climbing was great and I have always thought that I should make a return visit.

Olaf - You have certainly made me very curious. What did you see illuminated in the overhang?

Bill Cramer has an excellent topo guide to Granite Mountain and the surrounding area; perhaps contact him to pick up copy.

See the books section in the upper left corner of the Granite Mountain page (this page actually).

How is the camping? How is the weather in November and December?

just wondering if the above closure information is accurate? was thinking of swinging by to climb candyland when i'm in sedona later this spring...

Has anyone climbed Magnolia Thunder Pussy lately looking for baita on the second roof were the pin soppiest to be?

If you climb 5.9 but can't climb 5.9 at GM then you probably don't climb 5.9.
