Featured Trad, Sport, Bouldering, and other popular climbing routes and climbing areas Globe, Arizona.
Volcanic cracks, spires and broken faces. Follow the main trail from parking near the substation until you come up out of the wash to your left. Continue up and left until you start coming down and to your right and hit an overlook. The wall east of you across the canyon is Stormwatch wall. Follow trail down into the wash and back up to Stormwatch.
Great winter crag with plenty of sunshine. Great views looking down Devils Canyon. 10+ routes of varying height quality. Mostly sport climbs with a few gear routes mixed in. All single pitch. Established in 1999-2000 by Gary and Bill Burns. Drive on the dirt road north to the power station. Take rough road around power station and continue north on 4X4 road to old campsite/parking area. From here hike the ridgeline towards the devils throne and the canyon. From the devils throne formation start looking for cairns to drop you into the canyon and to the base of the wall. Hike takes 20-30 mins. Buy Marty Karabin's guide to Northern Devils Canyon for a map.
Much like the Circle K hotdog, it's truly a diamond in the rough. From the parking area north of the substation on forest service road 342 follow the wash east for a half mile until you reach a stone wall/lookout, on the top of the west ridge of Devils Canyon.from here head south down a steep trail that snakes down into the canyon and Diamond Dog will emerge on your right. The trail out of the parking spur off the east side of the road (just after a hill) is well marked with cairns and is pretty easy to follow for the most part. You might have to do a bit of route-finding where it crosses the drainage, but usually not too hard to figure out. For what it's worth, the Karabin sheet may say it's 1/2 mile from the parking to Diamond Dog, but in reality it's more like a mile (via GPS).
