This climb sucks. We had driven by this cliff many times and saw cracks. The day we climbed here, we had actually tried to reach a large frozen waterfall which is south of Lukaichukai, and very visible WAY up high on the skyline from the main road, but we couldn't find a way to get to it. We didn't want to waste the day, so we drove north and hiked up the this cliffband. The rock is very soft, and the climbing seemed dicey. The anchor is probably crap too. I don't recommend climbing here. I see in Eric's Desert Rock IV that ther is another route now on this cliff; a 5.11 climb put up by Brett Ruckman and Tim Coats. That climb is called Crow's Feet, and is just to the left of Bluff Cliffs One.
