Getting There

The path to Delta wasn't really changed by the 2020 fire. It just cleared out some jungly stuff and burned up deadfall. The firefighters actually used the old Delta trail to build the 2020 firebreak. See the "Getting there" info for Echo to get started to Delta.

After reaching the BIG STUMP near Echo...

At this point you are very close to Echo. If you keep heading east for 100 feet, and THEN turn south, you will be there in about a minute.

For Delta, keep heading east (more or less towards Ireland), down the slope, until you get back into actual forest again. Then swing south, following cairns, paralleling sabino creek, slowly dropping down to the crag.

It takes 15 min to get to the ridge crest near Echo, 20 more to get to Delta.

It is also POSSIBLE to get to Delta from Raycray, but I leave that to the student.
