Access Issue: PLACING BOLTS IS ILLEGAL IN THE SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS!
Details
In the early '90's the USFS banned all placement of bolts in the Superstition Wilderness. This unfortunately includes replacement of existing bolts. Violating this ban may result in climbing restrictions on this beautiful area. Please think twice and go bolt somewhere else.
P1: Climb face, then gully and ramp (cl.4) to two bolt belay/rap at window.
P2: Traverse left (south) on ledges past piton, then up any number of grooves to summit (same as last pitch of The Anonymous). There are several old bolts in various places at the window ledge level. A more technical variation (orange Topo Overlay) climbs out the window on the northwest side, zigzagging to arch above and then can finish with Pseudonym's thirty foot overhanging chimney.
Medium to large nuts, a few cams.
South end of complex, single rope, vertical chain anchor rap west.
