Main Wall from the approach trail. Climbers on Submission just left of the prickly pear.
Souvlaki Space Station is as tall as the Main Wall (just above). You can see Brent Bingham starting on the left side of the wall. <br> <br> Tough approach is rewarded by solitude and many moderate Trad lines.

The wall
Holding on for dear life- hands numb and soaking wet- waiting for a snow storm to let up!!!! What a treat this visit to ISO was!!!!
Looking north from Isolation Canyon's Main Wall to Pine, AZ.
#4 on Remission 5.9R, it has a couple of long runouts in the wide spots. Fun route if you don't mind chimnneys.
This is the alternate approach for parking at Isolation. You can also park at Pine Trailhead and walk by the old parking area.
From Mile Post 266.3, turn south through a large clearing to the Power Line Road. Turn right at the Power Line road on a recently improved and graded dirt road to it's end at the Arizona Trail. Park here. A large boulder blocks the gate to Old County Road
Isolation Canyon Main Wall
Multi-pitch
Gail and I walked along the canyon bottom to the Narrows and climbed up above the waterfall on Checkerboard (5.6).
Gray Thompson climbing the second pitch of M&M Dihedral at the bottom of the canyon.
Long approach, but so worth it.
