Description

The Cirque of the Climbables, a name play on the famous The Cirque of the Unclimbables, is one of the most accessible crags on Queen Mountain and is home to a number of quality routes with Treasure of the Sierra Madre (5.10d) the standout line of the area.

Getting There

Hike north from the parking circle along the old road as it passes through some low hills, turns east and then meanders towards the base of Queen Mountain where you can pick up a cairned trail that steadily gains elevation to the now visible crags. Plan on 30-50 minutes for the approach.
