Queen Creek Canyon Climbing

In the mid-90’s, after blowing up the very popular roadside route Volcanic Panic, ADOT (AZ Dept. of  Transportation) requested that climbers refrain from climbing on the cliffs immediately above the road (this would mostly apply to the walls down on the road to the right of The Pond. Their concern was that a climber standing near the road might get hit by a car or, even worse, someone climbing might knock a rock off onto a car down on the road and kill someone. There are almost 40 established routes down in the Sunday School Wall area alone, some done over 50 years ago. Just because there isn’t a route entered for Mtn Project is NO reason to assume they haven’t been climbed (especially quite obvious ones next to the road.  If you want to find some new routes to do, please look elsewhere. There’s plenty of rock around where one stupid accident won’t close down climbing at Queen Creek. Please don't climb there! Thx.
