Description Suggest change

This is in Pima Canyon and it is the first wall you see when coming from the parking area. This is where the majority of people climb at South Mountain and it contains a few gems. Beware of crumbly top outs on the entrance wall!

Getting There Suggest change

From the Guadalupe parking lot hike Pima Canyon Road for a little over a mile to an old stone structure. Continue south west up Pima wash for 15 minutes. If you miss the wall you probably shouldn't be bouldering, it is that obvious...(don't "veer" up wash heading north).
