This is me on a short section that is under water during the summer. Known as "mid rock"

This climb is about 50-60 feet tall with a few cracks and a large overhang. This climb is about 2 miles in on Thompson Creek Trail, before the junction of hubbard creek and sipsey fork. Its non stop rock face for miles in the canyon.

This section appeared to be in the 100+ ft range. Its one of the earlier secitions of rock on Thompson creek trail (trail 206) about 1 mile in on the east side of the trail. No known easy access to the top for top-roping in this section. Looks like trad climbing only.

You can find endless amounts of rock just like this for miles through out the sipsey wilderness. Almost all areas require a long hike so be well prepared before setting out on the trail. Bringing a water purifier/filter would be recommended.

Evan and Adam setting up the top rop on the highest point.

Evan setting up for the little overhang. Poor set up for top roping this side, if you fall you will skip across the rock for about 15 or 20 feet.

Adam working up the middle. The texture of the rock is hard to eyeball because of all the spray paint distracting your attention. A hold can blend right in with everything else because of the redneck paint job. Could be a gorgeous rock if it was clean.

A close up of me on the little overhang. A good place to climb during the winter because all the boaters and jumpers are gone.

Me playing around on the right side of this particular rock. No names exist for these routes yet... that I know of.

Adam setting up the toprope. You almost dont want to go down because the view is so beautiful from up there.

Me working up the outside. My first time climbing mud puppy, seems like a good route to learn sport climbing.

Trying to figure out my next move to get over the mini overhang.

The tree behind sticky fingers got the best of me. Its a scary fall for a reason. Please look over the fact that I am flexing, I promise Im not that cocky.

My first time through the ceiling. I was pretty nervous but I made it. Fall 2005

Christians very fist time climbing. I was impressed, he did a great job.
