Access Issue: Stay on the Casa Grande side of North Mountain Park.
Details
These rock formations overlap on the Gila River Indian Community. Climbing is not permitted on their sovereign territory. Please be respectful of the tribal land so that their community does not have to complain to the City of Casa Grande about climbers on the Casa Grande side of the park.
Description
Beta:
- Eight (8) bolts plus a two-bolt anchor.
- Anchor chains have permanent carabiners.
- Crux: The crux is halfway up.
- The route is about a 5.7/8 to the 5.9 (?) crux and then about 5.7/8 above the crux.
Access Issue: Remember to stay on the Casa Grande side of the formations. Just north of this route is the Gila River Indian Community, a sovereign tribal nation. Respect their laws and self-government.
Trivia: Route named after three of my sons: Samuel, the kind big brother, who loves his little brothers Michael and Jackson.
Location
This route is the most eastern route on the Casa Grande side of the formations. Look for bolts on the most vertical wall.
