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.
Description
A great climb with pretty good rock. Pitch one is a fun, well-protected chimney that leads to a spacious belay ledge with a palo verde tree or off of a single, old, rusty bolt. Pitch two is a solid but short hand crack with two old pitons. The guidebook states that it is strenuous, awkward seems more fitting.
A single, original bolt gets you off the top back to the ledge. We slung the palo verde for the second rappel.
You can easily see the second pitch crack and palo verde tree from the base of The Hand.
