Anyone have info about Baboquivari's south face climbs.
We traversed the southern lion's ledge yesterday and counted at least four mixed routes.
I'd be indebted to anyone's 2 cents.
Thanks in advance

I used to have a topo of the south face of Baboquivari posted... It was a very nice topo and was done by Mike Strassman. I'll see if I can locate it and make it available.

I have been up the South East Arete. The only bolts there are anchors at one place, and one of the bolts looked pretty manky, but you could back it up with gear.

We did the climb in a day with the East approach. Hands down, this has been my favorite climb in Arizona. The climbing is really easy, but the views and experience was just phenomenal. It did make for a long day though.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
