Description

Large grain granite boulders surrounding a wash. Rock quality is generally good, but crumbly spots can be found. The problems and holds here are unique. There are some great of crack problems here, as well as some difficult, steep face problems. Landing zones are pretty good for the most part, but some are pretty dicey. This place has lots of great rock and a lot of potential. This spot is a bit warmer than Prescott, and you're unlikely to run into anybody.

Getting There

Take Iron Springs Rd out of town toward Granite Mountain. Pass "Granite Basin Rd" (right) and keep driving for about 10 minutes until a right turn onto "Tonto Rd". Follow the dirt road under the train bridge, and take the immediate left. The area can be accessed to the right, by walking down the wash.
