Description

Spy Mountain is the huge rocky hillside just west of the Giant Rock itself, and currently offers around 200 new routes for those willing to make the steep and rocky hike that is reminiscent of Fairview Mountain.

A number of older sub-areas are located here - DMZ, Jugs Over the Sand, Locker Memorial Face, n00bulicious Zone, Spartan's Head which tend to be on the desert floor whereas most of the new routes are up on the mountain and require a bit of a hike.
