Description 

Willow Canyon is home to a number of rather obscure crags and pinnacles. Almost all routes face south/southeast, so expect sun most of the time. A nice variety of both sport and gear routes can be found here on rock of varying quality.

NOTE: This area has been added to maintain consistency with Squeezing the Lemmon II

Getting There 

From Rose Canyon Lake: hike south from the west end of the small dam. A faint trail contours along Rose Peak, bringing you out on top of Rose Hill Crag. Continue down this ridge to reach the rest of the Willow Canyon crags.
