The Jungle

Arizona > Southern Arizona > Mt Lemmon (Sant… > Mt Lemmon (Cata… > 2 - Bear Canyon > Cataract Boulders

Description

The Jungle is composed of two cliffbands lying at ft. on Mount Lemmon. Its black and tan streaks look very out of place on the mountain.

Problems are between the V0 – V8 range.

This area doesn't seem to fit any description for areas on Mt. Lemmon. With that said, please post info that might help clarify the details about the area.

Getting There

To get there, park at the pullout with a yellow 20mph recommendation sign (MP 9.8ish). The old directions were to hike through the wash uphill, however it has grown over since the area was developed. Following the trail on the right side of the wash directly up the hill is much easier. When you arrive at the Forest, leave the main trail and hike left around the cliff band following a faint trail that enters the wash. Move up the wash until you can see the Jungle wall up on a ledge to the right.

[Hide Comment] The description for this area sounds vaguely like the Barefoot Wall found in the old Steiger guide.

[Hide Comment] i had that thought too, which is why i didn't post this area up for over a year. after looking into it as well as i could, i decided the worst that could happen was that i take it down/adjust names, etc.

the bands are too short to fit the description. the one that is tall is a slab, whereas in the description for the barefoot wall, it is overhanging. from Mcmillen's guide regarding the BF wall: "More like routes than boulder problems."

these problems are pretty short and sweet, and i believe that the barefoot wall is another 20 yards down the road, and much closer to the road than this place. Apr 19, 2010
