Vie in Superstition Mountains

Classic approach:

1. scramble up the rock of the gully to a steel pipe

2. the crux of the climb up the chock stone (you may go left, 5.4 or right, 5.2

3. climb the 12 feet wall on the left of the anchor on top of the chock stone, then hike the path up

4. some easy technical climbing up and hike to the summit

Down: There is a big anchor left (on your way down) for a rappel to the top of pitch 3, then hike down, down climb the short wall to the anchor on top of pitch 2 (chock stone) and rappel from there. With a 200 feet rope you reach the lower steel pipe and you can scramble down but you can also do an intermediate anchor with a shorter rope.

Equipment: take some slings and some medium size cams to protect at least pitch 2, 200 feet (60m) rope recommended

P1 - Up forth class gully, at top of gully head left to anchor chains. Trad for pro if required. P2 - Bolts, stay on arete. P3 - Bolts, 2-3 Cam reqired for pro near top, stay on arete.
