Solo ascent by:
First ascent
Wandered off across the hills on a snow day to find a new line. This was it, a fun little tower looking down on two canyons.

Onsight ascent by:
Finished Business
This line was a tribute to my friend and mentor, Mike Fisher. Established ground-up and drilled from stances, the last (4th) bolt was added after the FA went all the way to the top with only the first three bolts.

First Ascent
Had a rope hanging on this line for 14 years... forgot it until I was too far from PHX to come back! Amazed that no one had snaked the lines, I came back with my lovely wife Cindy to knock out four projects in five weeks, culminating with this line. 5.8 holds, 5.9 pump and angles... old school runout at the top... set your own grade.

A Christmas Day FA!
Arrived in the canyon to clouds, gusty 30 mph north winds, and temps in the low 30s F. Shouldered packs and bent to the wind and humped down to the shelter of the Troll Hut, inhaled some motivation, set anchors and rap-bolted this beauty in about an hour. Rested, waited for any hint of sun (in vain) and finally sent the FA in Gypsy Conditions; clouds and snow, wind and remote location.

A Hand-drilled First!
Not precisely sure about this date, but it was somewhere around here when Rob Bracey and I spent most of a day hand-drilling these bolts and anchors before a first ascent that was hilariously pumped because of wielding a hammer and bit.
A decade and a half later, I returned to add a first and third bolt to this line, easing it out of R/X terrain and back into a "G" rating.

First Ascent
A fun little line that has been staring me in the face since Rob B and I hand-drilled this thing way back in 98. Now there's a quick, easy way to set the TR for both lines, or to lower to the base of Sendero D'oro.

What a blast!
Started by avoiding the chimney and climbing the variation slab around the corner to the right... about 5.6 and fun! Want to go back and TR the routes below both rappells... once you've got the rope there, why deny yourself?

Awesome!
Tried this once and backed down from the intital moves due to sketchy looking rock, bad faall potential, and testicular atrophy. Left a nice #8 Hexcentric for someone to snag (they did), came back a week later and sent the line by MOONLIGHT! Incredible chickenheads protect the top with a final wild move around the arete and onto the summit.

Free solo madness
bouldered this thing with just chalk bag and shoes after too long in the madness of central Phoenix and too long away from WV.
Not a recommended method of ascent....
