Perhaps the best basalt pitch in Arizona: Tomas Ro...


Description 

Furthest route right on the right side of the ampitheater. It is easily discernible by the double roofs at the top of the pitch. Start climbing up blocky rock/with cracks to the start of the dihedral. From there, jam, stem, and pull to the first roof which is the crux. Exiting the right side requires a big move... The next roof is cruiser getting to the anchors.


Protection 

Standard + the last time I did this thing I would have liked extra #.75 and #1 camalots. Orange metolious/grey camalot at the roofs. A #3camalot down low is nice if first line of the day. one #2 was useful at the first roof.

Anchors replaced 6-1-08. 1/2 inch bolts, hangers, quick links, and biners for a speedy return to the ground, and on to the next route.

Naw, I don't mind putting in the extra effort to make sure that our NAZ classics are properly taken care of.

One of the best pitches I've climbed in years.

A great route with fun moves. The roofs are much easier than they appear from the ground. The crux for me was a short thin crack section low in the stem-box.
