This weekend also should be nice at the Homestead. I would think CASA's A- team would be promoting the Access Fund's Adopt a Crag over selling guidebooks.

Great weekend at the Homestead! A ton of work was accomplished by me and members of the A Team and 45 other people working for the climbing community. Blood and sweat were left along the new footpath to the cliffs at the Homestead. The walk in now takes about an hour and fifteen if you don't have a high clearance vehicle. If you ordered a book this weekend it will go out today. Thank you!

Getting cold this weekend. Looks like the Sunspots Crags will get some love. Take your gear and get on the really good 5.11 Solar Flare!

Here is the info on Solar Flare.

i heard Solar Flare was a death route! i heard they chopped the bolts to trick people to lead it on gear! i heard the first person to lead it without the bolts bashed her head open and is still in a coma at TMC!

Hahahaha Jon. Everyone knows that UMC is the trauma hospital around here. :)

I don't trust any nurses or doctors in Tucson, so I'll stick to bouldering.


Gates Pass - not in the guidebook, but still a good spot for a winter day!

Sunday looks perfect for... shed...beach...dry. Those won't sell guides tho.

Beach and Dry seconded. Why isn't Milagrosa in the guidebook?

That's what they want you to think!

I thought this might be a good place to ask a general question: I am looking for winter crags in the local area where there is, ideally, cell reception at the crag, or if not, then near the crag such that I could easily run and check every couple of hours. I have some educated guesses about crags that might have reception but am interested to hear from people who know for sure about certain crags. I have AT &T coverage but my partner might have something else. Thanks!

(Eric, if you think this is a thread highjack, I'll start a new post. Although, it is a bump :))

beach and shed both have reception.

Charles Vernon · · Colorado megalopolis · Joined Jan 2001 · Points: 2,754

Thanks jbak. The Beach looks a bit above my pay grade. Anyone know if there's reception at the main wall?

Greg Pahutnik · · Scottsdale, AZ · Joined Sep 2015 · Points: 5

Verizon has spotty coverage in Milagrosa. Definitely enough to make a call in the right spots along the Main Wall.

Jimbo · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Feb 2006 · Points: 1,310

I get great reception at Weather top and Club Med.

I recall having reception at Pinhead Wall last weekend. This is with Verizon.

Best wishes with baby Vernon!
