Paul Houston climbing through the Wedge. He's not a small guy and he made it. Try it out. You may surprise yourself. I had all the gear and I like awkward offwidth so I climbed over. Left leg in the offwidth is better than th

Joe Garcia leading P3 of Mystery of the Desert in Cochise Stronghold while Geir belays.

Be sure to check out the Hootgoat Window at the top!

Stryder points at the next dome over after topping out Mystery of the desert.

Highly recommended mystery summit pitch on the Muttonhead. 4 bolts and gear to #1 camalot. Probably 5.10a? The views from the top are stellar

Owen pulling the Crux move of p4. Don't forget to protect the follower after the Crux here to prevent a big scary swing in the case of a fall. A .3' and/or .2' cam work well.

1st Pitch from the two bolt anchors left of the crack...Dashle ready to climb it.

Angel on top of the 4th pitch after pulling through the excellent 5.9 crack.

Kimberly prepares to mantle the dyke after the crux!

Jillian following the crux pitch, hoping the single nut between her and the belay is as good as I say it is.

Another view of the Hootgoat window from the walk-off.

Leading the unexpectedly friendly layback. Solid feet.

Anjani climbing to p2 anchors. p1 really.

Over the Wedge crack and through the Veg crap, to grandmother's house we go... <br>
And it cometh to pass that my partner did riseth over. <br>
