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.

Route

Semi-detached spire split mainly north/south by chimney systems and located on next pillar system south of BCW.

P1: Stem/squeeze four distinct chimney sections until possible to move southeast onto a large pseudo-summit ledge.
P2: Gap chimney west, climb easy face, move right, crossing over large boulders and up steeper, highly-pocketed face to summit.

Minimal pro, an occasional cam and/or nut. Several large chockstones could be slinged, but not really necessary. Two crusty classics at summit for belay/rap, but they don't instill much confidence. Currently a walk-off after initial short rap.
