Description
This wall despite have a stunning overhanging buttress that made it stand out when driving down the mountain had only 3 routes on it until recently. The nature of the stone left lots of holdless sections or too much choss to mess with. Two of the routes are of a grade that seems to have put people off and the third is an old trad route, nuff said.
4 routes were recently added giving the 5.11 climber 3 new sport options and one well protected 5.10 trad route called Funnel of Love. Now if you want to climb Cow Punks 5.12 or Fuck Me Pumps 13+ you have more warm up options.
The wall faces east and is warm in the winter. Quite comfortable there when Tucson weather is in the low 80s as there is usually a breeze. The main wall is steep and long enough that it goes into the shade around mid day. Once the belay gets shade it is really quite nice and the base is a good hang.
Getting There
Just 200 feet up road from the Goosehead there is a pullout on the right, roughly mile marker 15.4. The back of the cliff is 30 feet away. From the road drop scramble the 30 feet to left end of the crag (as viewed from road) work left a little try not to slip for ten feet or so in the loose dirt then scramble over scree around to the base of the climb. Takes about 5 minutes.
