Access Issue: Must Register! Private Property-The Pond, Atlantis and Mine Area Details

Climbing at The Pond, Atlantis and Mine Area are private property, and now requires that you register in order to gain legal access. This is an easy process. You can do this at: queencreekclimbing.com/.
This is a one-time and free process so once you are registered you are good to go.

You can read more about this process and the announcement at the Queen Creek Coalition website – theqcc.com or the Queen Creek Coalition’s Facebook page – facebook.com/Queen-Creek-Co…

Description

Sport lines between 45 and 130 feet on rhyolite. The names of some of the routes are unknown but some more recent routes are known. Rock quality is generally good and will continue to improve as climbing continues. A great winter crag since at about 9:30 the sun hits and warms up the rock quite fast. Easily accessed from the Atlantis parking area.

Getting There

Park in the same area as for Atlantis then turn toward the tunnel and look to the left, you will see the old highway road that comes through an old tunnel. The routes are between 3 to 5 minutes from your car on the old road!
