Description

Short but solid cliff band. Pleasant climbing on small edges and shallow dishes. Sunny in the morning in the winter and shady in the afternoon in the summer. It is so wonderful to warm your bones against this wall on a crisp winter morning, hence the name Phototropism.

Getting There

The first band of rock you come to as you hike up the canyon on the western side (hikers left) of the wash. If you know you are wanting to climb at the Beer Bellies or the Phototropism Rock Band right out of the parking area, it's better to cross the wash as soon as you leave the parking area. There is a cow trail on the opposite side of the wash that will allow for more efficient access of routes on the west side of the canyon.
