Pocket Pow-wow is two lines to the right of Pocket Party which is two lines to the left of Pocket Pow-wow... They are both on the other side of the arete from Pocket Puzzle and Arete Horizon. There is a short route on the overhang, then a newer route up the extreme left/arete on the wall and then Pocket Party. Hmmm... maybe that's no more helpful.. Nov 14, 2009

Pumpy climb! I had a great time being reminded of what Non-Crack climbing feels like in the forearms. As usual with Queen creek pockets, on this route, don't look for whats perfect, look for what quickly works. Nov 22, 2010

Most of the routes on this wall look very similar and are hard to tell apart. This route detail mountainproject.com/v/10861… may be helpful if you're looking for a specific one. Jan 28, 2014
