Keith airing it out on the limestone traverse. I thought it was a bit spooky. You can supplement bolts with small gear. Plenty of exposure and awesome views!

Coop bringing up the RC glider we threw from the top. What an awsome flight! Even landed it at the car.

Nabbing the jug to finish the slab crux of P4. January 2013.

View from the start of the third pitch, just before it gets crack-tastic!

Coming around the traverse on pitch 2. Loved every second!

On a single 70, the second rap point was not visible under a small roof. I had to keep descending until 4-5 feet from the end of the 70m BD rope. The visible rap point climbers left is beyond the reach of a 70m, but don't worry it's not that one.

Me leading pitch 1 with Marcy and Casey ahead of me getting ready to start the traverse pitch 2.

Ryan Myers giggling his way up pitch 3!!!

Looking down the start of splitter pitch 3!!

The traverse is so good! One of the best pitches of its grade I have ever climbed!

Taking a break, enjoying the view atop the 3rd pitch

Approach to Mars Attacks & Big Corner from Dirt Road (152C).

A shot of the pitch 2 traverse, Mars Attacks.

One of the first views of the route from the dirt road (FSR 152). We walked the road since it was a bit rough. 50 minutes from car to base of route.

Jodie on the traverse pitch 2. She flew through this amazingly exposed pitch.

Keith coming up through the crux slab on P1.The crux is a bit slippery but well protected.

There are a couple of different trails you can turn off on for the approach, but this is the one we came out from on the descent when we followed the cairns and the most well traveled trail. It is just before a downhill in the road, 0.4mi from trailhead.

This block atop pitch 3 is disconnected. Tred lightly.

dana leading and getting a bit gripped on pitch 2.

The climbers trail turnoff up a wash, about 0.15 mile past the Devil's Bridge trail turnoff. Look for a cairn.

This is the easy way to get there. Otherwise hike straight up the slabs and have fun with a sketchy bouldery move up the slabs.

Looking down at Natalie coming up the first pitch.

Stepping around the corner on the traverse

Setting up for first rappel, as seen from P4 anchors, for reference. We stayed roped up and belayed each other to the station jic.

Another shot of Jodie on the traverse pitch 2.

Pointing at the formation where Mars Attacks is located. Seen from the Devil's Bridge trail

As seen from the parking area (described in Weekend Rock: Arizona).

Looking down at pitch 1 from pitch 2 belay

The 3rd pitch crack was my favorite part.
