Now in hi-res!

Anything I should know about this place before climbing there (other than access being limited to 9am-4pm)? Thanks--

Braxton- Are there very many established routes out there or are you looking to develop in the area? -Tiffany

This, and the following pages are all I know. That, and I wouldn't pass a quiz on those pages, either...

A steep climb too.

Brx,

I assume you know that the Potato (in your scan) is in Mendoza...right ?

I have quite a bit of info on Kitt Peak climbs from my old Summit Hut guide. I even climbed there a few times WAY back when. But really it's pretty slabby and uninteresting. The big slab about half way up (Aquagomy) has quite few routes so don't assume you are doing an FA. Some of the other crags have routes too. There may be some bouldering at the picnic area but it's been so long I can't say anything about the quality.

Yo JB- you're right about the Potato being in Mendoza. That image
(thanks to climbaz.com) includes both the first page of Kitt Peak info and the last page of Mendoza's and I didn't feel like editing it 'cause I'm feeling lazy. I added Kitt Peak to the database yesterday.
Hopefully that will generate more info about this place (if there is any more than what's in the Backcountry book).

You're right about Aquagomy. I went up there yesterday and it's not my cup of tea, either.
