Climbing Access Closed MORE INFO >>> I was recently informed, by a friend, that the State Park will be giving tickets to people found climbing in this area. It turns out that these routes are on private property and the land owner has voiced their complaints. For the time being all climbing at Hueco Point is closed and climbers should keep from climbing here. Its mostly choss anyway. This new development also serves as a reminder that we need to keep a low profile and be sure to practice good Leave No Trace practices and pick up the trash of others when you can.

Description 

This is the go to top rope route in the canyon. Though it may not be the best in terms of quality it is certainly a decent climb by the canyon's standards. Crux is the first 20ft after that its relatively easy climbing up the Huecos.

Location 

Located at the base of Hueco Point this route ascends strait up the face with lots of huecos. Start 15ft right of the The Dihedral Crack and climb strait up.

Protection 

Top rope, use the tree at the top for the anchor and the tree behind it for backup. I used 90+ ft of webbing (tied in loops) and felt I could have used more. If you don't know how to proporly build and anchor seek professional help.
