Description - DO NOT CLIMB ON TUFAS AFTER HEAVY RAINS OR IF THE WALL APPEARS WET! Tufas are very fragile and break really easily when wet. Don't ruin climbs for everyone else!*
The largest single climbable tufa at the Homestead. Climb up HUGE tufa / face to inverted buckets to anchors. Amazing climb!
Location This route is located at the far right side of Tufa City just prior to Marley Wall. Base of the climb is 20 feet up the wall, fixed rope access. It is the second of the four routes (from left to right) at this belay station.
Protection 13 Bolts. Biners at anchors.

| This is an indescribably incredible route and the bolt placements are very nicely done. Just to reiterate though, tufas that protrude farther from the wall than their own width are extremely vulnerable to breaking if lateral force is applied to them. Please try to tread softly on this route and stay off anytime you notice the wall is seeping and/or shortly after rainfall. Don't be responsible for this route being tragically ruined! Thanx. |

| I checked in with Fred and learned that he named this route "John's Meat Market". |

| I changed the name. Left aka: Fred's Line since that is how it has been known by most people for so long... |

| Cool beans. Thanx Red. BTW, the route is about 70' from the belay ledge and 80' to the ground. |

| Edit: John's Meat Market is two routes to the right. This route is called Tufa Yard Dash. TYD was bolted by Kevin ? from Oregon. I figured this out when we ran into Kevin on our way out / his way in to the Stead on 12-20-09. |

| Cool. Strange series of mistakes led to these lines getting confused but it's good that it's all straightened out now. Great route. |

| This was the first time scene Kevin bolted the line (Jan 07) that we were able to climb on it Dry...if there could only be one 4 star route at the Stead this would be it! |

| This route is the absolute best tufa jug haul at the stead. Thought it was Freds line, but I guess that is to the right. Climb it! |

| Certainly one of the best routes at the Stead!
One of the best bolted 5.11's in America? Quite possibly. |

| Definitely the most uniquely featured climb I have ever been on. Maybe my favorite route in AZ. 40-50 feet of amazing tufa pulling to a no hands rest into an absolute overhung bucket-fest. Definitely pumpy. Blew off the move to the finishing mantle a bunch of times from the pump. Highly recommended! |

| Awesome route through amazing features! Glad to have gotten the on-sight and look forward to doing this route every time I am at the Homestead!! |

| There are at least 3 and maybe 5 no hands rests on this route. If you think it is hard or pumpy you are not using the rests. |

| One of the best bolted elevens in the country. I smiled the whole time I was climbing this thing |
