Tasty Pancho

Arizona > Northern Arizona > Northern AZ Bou… > Flagstaff Bould… > San Francisco P… > First Gully Boulders

Description

Tasty Pancho was discovered in the Fall of 2008 - development has continued throughout the years and still potential for new problems exist. This area is a mix of freestanding boulders and cliff lines with a few 30+ foot tall highballs. It is recommended to rap the taller problems before trying from the ground as the peaks have a pretty harsh climate and holds can get dirty. Most of the problems are on bulletproof rock, climbing edges and pockets on water streaked stone. There are several warm-ups as well as harder poblems hiding among large aspens and conifers. Rarely will you see anyone here.

Getting There

From the Easy Party Boulder: Continue hiking north on the main trail for approximately 5 minutes. Easily visible from the trail you will see a few unnamed warm-ups -worth doing if you are just looking to get the blood moving. Approximately 500 ft. past the unnamed warm-ups you will find a faint climber's trail switch-backing up the hill towards the cliff to the SW. 35.3031 x -111.7036

[Hide Comment] Was unfortunately really unimpressed by all the lines here as of Jun 2025. Boulders really look unlike the photos now, completely covered in dirt, soot (?), and moss. Although this was some of the better stuff we found along the trail, we left without climbing and don't plan to return to boulder. Potential for revitalizing the area, but needs a lot of work.
