Another super solid supes anchor!! The webbing is also nice and fresh.

On the way up the draw there was a large boulder we decided to stop and check out. One thing led to another and we just started climbin'.

These was near a botanical desert garden actually. It was on the side of a river and we just decicded we would climb. We didn't have any gear but we didn't mind.

Tim took this pic of me while we were bailing just below the cave. The rain turned into big snow flakes then to rain again. The rock was complete choss, wet, and covered in slimy moss and lichen. Yum

Out my back window. It rained cats and dogs last night but up on the mountains.....

Just a couple of the numerous lines in this area to help get you oriented.

The day was bright, cold and very windy. Still, it was february and we were warm enough. The climbing was superb and the rock just fine if a bit cool to touch. Mark T took on olympus digital 021506.

The day was cold and windy but fine once we got around the prow. This route is usually a spring/fall route but the warm weather was fine. The wind sucked. The route is great as usual. Some of the Superstition's best rock and one of it's best climbs. Mark T took on olympus digital 021506.

We started walking @ 0840 and got to the top at 1500. It's a 2 hr approach up Siphon Gulley to the base then up 5 pitches to the top. It's easier to walk down than rap. Just walk north to the hiker's trail and then the climber's trail follows the base of the Flatiron back to the prow.

A cool day made a bit weary by the wind. We finally topped out at 3pm and felt successful with 3 on the rope. The whole Valley of the Sun is usually visible behind them but the wind kicked up a ton of dirt. Sonso45 took on olympus digital 021506.

This way my reward for topping out "Odyssey" on the Acropolis in the Superstitions (looking toward Phoenix). The pollution makes for beautiful sunsets. Yet another great reason to sell your crappy bicycle and get an totally sweet H2 like the other soccer moms..........

Dale really loves his approach shoes. I think he was tempted to put them on for the crux on the third pitch of The Odyssey. The Acropolis, Superststion Mountians 3-26-05

This was taken from the top of the 3rd pitch of the Odyssey. This is a great route. Approach sadists will find this route particularly appealing

Here's the panorama from the summit of the Acropolis in the Superstitions Mountains of AZ. This was taken right after topping out the "Odyssey."

Photo taken of the Tower from the Hand by Erin. This route is superior to the Hand yet sees little traffic.

Belaying on 2 feet wide, 100 foot drop off on either side! Chossy rock and some manky gear, placed 2 pieces on the entire route, clipped rusty pitons and some newer bolts! Easy climbing on the crumbly rock though, pull down not out!

I promise this picture was not set up. this is mat having fun on the suction gully descent.

this belay was forced when my belayer ran out of rope

This is one of the best tower climb in the Superstition Mtns.

This is a picture of my rope & the second pitch of the Tower. All I brought up for a rack was a #2 Rock Empire cam I found on the hand.

I saw there wasn't a topo of this wall so I added one. A nice wall in the supes with good rock and some nice lines in a secluded setting.
