Description 

The Lunchbox is a tall formation home to some of LDE's best routes. All of the climbs are a single pitch - some as long as 150'. The rock quality is generally good and on some of the climbs it is terrific.

Centipede Corner on the left. Frosted Snakes on the right.

Centipede Corner 5.10b/c  AZ : Central Arizona : ... : The Lunchbox
A modern Queen Creek classic. This beautiful, right-leaning crack and corner system lies on the west face of the Lunchbox. It is an unusual Queen Creek climb as it combines true crack climbing, tricky stemming, and powerful laybacks on an entirely gear-protected route. For those climbing trad at the grade, it should not be missed.Descent: A 60m rope is just long enough to rap the route with rope stretch. Be careful and make sure your rope is the whole way down.

Note - Frosted Snakes, Hold the Jam, Talia S/W, and Chocolate Covered Scorpion Crack All currently use the same rappel anchor, which brings you down in the gully between the first three routes.

in the event that parties climbing all of these routes arrive at the rap anchor at the same time, the order in which the teams descend will be ascending alphabetical order of the leaders' first names. :)

the lunchbox can now be rapped with a single 60m rope. from the top, make a short rappel to the anchors for centipede corner. then rappel to the ground. this second rappel is long, make sure your rope is all the way to the ground. if you come up short you can swing over to a stack of blocks on your right.
