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
Start is about ¾ the way up the gulley. You will notice a short, vertical finger crack with a single bolt through a pocketed face to a ledge. P1: Great rock and pockets with tricky pro and one bolt to ledge, then step across to finishing move and onto slab to large ledge with bolted anchor slightly to climbers left, 80 ft, 5.9+. P2: scramble on ledge to your right, past tree to set up gear anchor at base of crack before it steepens above. Climb steepening crack on surprisingly good rock, continuing up beautiful hand crack with great feet, pockets, and lots of opportunities for pro, 5.9+ 90ft, fairly consistent at grade. Pitch ends at spacious ledge. If you wish, you may scramble up gully to your right to top-out.
