| Second pitch is 5.6ish at most, bring a cordelette to lasso formations at top, or gear anchor further down with big cams.
Maybe worth doing if you're in the mood for something easy or if you left your packs up top.
I like the first pitch a lot because it forces you to crack climb a bit, which is rare on Mt. Lemmon. |

| first pitch is sweet because you get to do actual, reallife, no joke, serious crack climbing for about 40 feet. the second pitch is--well--meh. i'd give the first pitch three stars and the second pitch one star. |
