Description
Hairpin Rock is due north of lefthand wall and features some nice moderate routes of both trad and sport variety. The easiest approach to the climbs on Hairpin is via the west; swing back around and find the climbs here and righthand wall. If you try from the east side you'll need to do some class IV scrambling. Be aware of loose rock in the area.
Getting There
Park at the hairpin pulloff to the right just as you are entering mount lemmon. The obvious canyon will be to your northwest. Follow the wash to whichever rock interests you.

The area with routes #6,7&8 is in need of a lot of work! As it stands now, there is extreme accident potential, with loose rock both on the ground and on the routes. I would be happy to see this area cleaned up and would love to help.
