Boot Hill 

This is a good sport crag, that is easy to get to. We found the ratings to be about one grade lower than stated on the topos. Still a fun area and worth going to!!!!

There is an updated printable topo of the area at:images.tucsonclimbers.org/beta/source/36.jpg

Straigh Up is a fun ass climb! Big holdovarhung a tad, pumpy. The hike in sucks but it's fun coming down!

Don't go straight uphill from parking lot, routes are towards the far right hand side of the rock formations you see from the lot..

Boot hill is a great area, nice belay ground and even bolts to clip in the belayer for the ledges. Its a little cold right now, but still great climbing.

To access the Fireplace and the Void Wall, hike past Dunka Dunk and scramble up to the ridge.From here you can follow a cairn marked trail to the base of the Fire Place. The first climb you'll encounter is climb #32 Reachy Riley.This approach takes about 3 minutes from Dunka Dunk and several more minutes to reach the Void Wall. The approach as stated on the topo's is no longer valid!

Regardless of what some people say, I think this is an awesome area. It is still comfortable climbing right now. Lots of easy, well-protected sport routes close together and a few reasonably harder ones for the intermediate climber to work on make this crag great for beginner and intermediate climbers. Anyone could come here to learn sport climbing, as long as they have boots!

Boothill was developed during the peak of summer,but this was only possible with early (before sunrise starts).Climbed here late afternoon this past weekend and found no shade.The only way we found shade was when we weren't climbing.Early starts make it possible to climb here during the summer,if not it's better to head higher up...

Andrew,
They are in "Squeezing The Lemmon." That is if you weren't informed of that yet?

Which way is North on that topo?

The area faces a westerly direction and the climb's are listed north to south.

This area has lots of climbs and a good number of moderates (under 5.10) which newer climbers need. Liked Little Rubber Ducky and Branch Breaker. Might not go here if I was from out of town but for locals looking for climbs to take beginners on it is a good area. In other words if you have done a lot of climbing and are no longer impressed by the novelty of being tied to a rope and climbing a rock I suggest you go there after you have done tons of other routes on the mountain and are looking anything new. Hope that clears it up for guys like Jbak.

This area is great for folks learning how to lead. "Bloody Mary" is a great first lead even though the tree gets in the way of the belayer. "New Year's Day" is a great corner climb for early leading.

Any one find a couple of draws on Boothill a couple of weeks ago? CAMP wire gates one end, OP curved gates the other? Maybe got forgotten on top of one of the routes on the right end of the crag after transfering...thx

Made it up there today and climbed at the brickyard - really liked the bottom moves on Branch Breaker!

Are Branch Breaker, Hard Feelings, and Input supposed to share a set of bolts/chains at the top? We didn't see anything else above the 3rd/4th bolt of the right two routes so we just ran it out and clipped into the Branch Breaker gear at the top.

Thanks for the topo, and thanks for all the work you guys did, Andy and Steven!

Here is what is in my opinion the easiest/best approach. A little bit longer but less steep and no bushwhacking. So from the parking lot walk past the big rocks and over the 1st little hill like you are heading to Jailhouse. As soon as the trail starts to go down hill (less than 50')take an obvious trail that goes left (in the direction of Boot Hill only farther left along the cliff band). Follow this trail for a while and eventually you will pass the firebreak which has 2 cairns, one on each side, keep going on the trail, you will pass another rocky drainage and eventually you will reach another trail the branches off to the left (uphill) that is also marked by a line of rocks that cross the trail. Take the left and head uphill through some switchbacks to the base of the cliffs.

The bright green face that you can see from the parking lot is the LEFTMOST wall of boot hill. On the way in our first time we took the trail to the firebreak and then bushwhacked up the firebreak thinking that we wanted to be left of the bright green face, oops.

So can anyone explain where the routes in STLII are? If you follow the firebreak all the way up to the cliffs you end up a ways left of the Green Monster. You have a pretty tallish wall on your right and pass another shorter tower on your left before the firebreak ends at the base of another wall that is kinda slabby but nice. At this wall you follow the base of the cliff left to a saddle. over the saddle there are more towers, the first of which has graffiti and a swastika painted on it. Kristina says (I went looking above and right of the swastika tower) that there is another even taller tower to the left of the S tower. I know I should have taken pics but can anyone help? I just can't get what I saw to jive with what is drawn in STLII.
Thanks,
Nick+Kristina

Come on Nick, look at the overview. Check the legend so you know what the symbols on the overview mean. You can figure this out. No help from jbak this time. Come on man I believe in you.
