Panther Peak 

The approach is still just desert walking for part of the way, so slight changes to some of the directions may occur. Please try to avoid placing cairns until the "best" line is found by those familiar with the area.

I hiked up to the wall behind the boulders 20 years ago to look at the corner and decided the hike was too long and the rock didn't warrant the hike either. That was before I became a chosstafarian bra. Perhaps the rock is worth climbing but that hike will most likely still keep me away.

The hiking here is so much easier than the Butterfly Wall. I have some interesting pictures of those upper walls; maybe I'll get around to posting some day. Yes, those do seem too far while the boulders are a different story.
This place is worth the hike. Wait, I feel like I've said that before...

The hike is long, but not as bad as it looks. It is also real easy to chase shade here, so when it is warm (but not too hot) like now, the hike is a bit worse, but the climbing is nice.

I may have left a pair of 5.10 Dragons (size 9) up there on October 23. Anyone seen them? If anyone heads up there, I'd appreciate it if you could keep your eyes open for them.

If anyone checks this place out any time soon, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the area and what you guys climbed. This place is cleaning up pretty well and the problems that are going up so far are very high quality.

nice looking stuff Joe, maybe I'll get to see it this winter.

Come on out, mobley! There will be plenty of FAs still up for grabs.

Climbing here takes a lot of initial cleaning, but once it is cleaned a little and climbed a few times, the lines are real good. Small feet will continue to break for a while, but most of the handholds on the established climbs should be solid. Lines here should be kept natural - no chipping or drilling, and no gluing. The rock here is highly featured, and there should always be another way to climb through a section.

Try not to get discouraged by the condition of your hands on your first few times here. Well calloused tips aren't quite enough protection from the full-palm, toothy holds encountered on most of the problems. Even after climbing at Panther long enough to build steel-belted mitts you may find yourself with bruised and bleeding digits.

i may have left a blue mountain hardware jacket here within the past few weeks. information on its whereabouts would be greatly appreciated.

Coming back to AZ for vacation in a about a week. My climbing bro Trey told me about this place. We are so going to check it out. The hike looks so much more worth it than the hike to Linda Vista.

The hike is well worth it if you are prepared to hike, and prepared for a little choss. There are some real good boulders here, but there is still a fair amount of loose rock. Many problems are cleaning up nicely, but others still need more traffic. And there are still PLENTY of new lines if you are willing to put in the effort of cleaning them up a bit.

There are some new topos, and hopefully more soon, at www.boulderingtucson.com.

Ok, so i must say that the area has potential. The hike kinda sucks, but i can see that (like the area) the more the trail gets used, the better it'll be. Great work on the cairns marking the trail. Quivering Beast is a LONG problem and a must do.

Very nice area, I eyed that hillside years ago but never went through with the dedication of hiking up there and cleaning the place up. Good job Chris, Joe and others for developing this area, unlike any bouldering I've ever done in the tucson area, would like to get back out there again, good stuff.

Due to rock quality, consider a spotter as mandatory.
Thanks for the trail.

Like many of you and having lived out that way, I've eyed this up for several years, more so and like EFR the wall behind it which stands out as "different" even from the road. The hike is not that bad, I bushwacked it my first time and it still wasn't that bad though from the ground it does seem intimidating.

In all honesty, with some small effort this could be developed into a nice area on this side of town and at least an alternative to Lemmon with full winter sun. I checked on the wall EFR was talking about and will post a photo in a second but there is potential there, not what I'd hoped but maybe better as I've yet to pull on it.

• *Edit** I have since pulled on it, bad, very bad, like a gigantic crouton! You could protect that wall with railroad spikes and a hammer!
