Three sets of climbers are visible in this photo. Can you see them?

Jennifer coming out of Ewephoria's chimney with Middle March Road snaking its way through the desert below her. She is clipping the third climber's rope into the draw and happy because that makes the last pitch.

This is a topo I made after climbing Hardskins last week. I could not find one so I decided to put one up.

Phugganut reracks for pitch 4 of Absinthe of Mallet; unk climber from Prescott behind on Peacemaker, another outstanding route on Sheepshead. Sonso45 took on nikon digital.

I can't remember which pitch this is but we're about 1/2 up the route worrying about the pretty but serious clouds behind us. we did eventually get rained on for a little while but hid in the cave then continued once it dried.

After some fast climbing to get there in time we made it to the "cave of the little screaming man" just as it started raining hard. Tim got soaked before he made it so we built a fire to warm him up. it was a nice break, the best part of the route in my opinion.

Day after new years, 04; after a long drive from San Diego and a long search for my climbing partners who are from Arizona, we headed up to Sheeps head, which is the biggest dome on the skyline, to do Peacemaker. The dome has several high quality, bolted, 5-7 pitch routes. This exciting, all day, multipitch adventure was well worth the trip. Much thanks to Aaron for leading 3 of us up.

I'm belaying my good buddy Aaron on the last pitch of peacemaker; the sweetest, longest sport climb I've ever done. We had to walk down in the dark, but I think climbing during the exquisite last light is worth it. On my left is my bro, Adam.

Kal pulling thru the roof with Joanne U. belaying. A bit windy and cool that day but fine rock and great climbing made it a stellar day. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 032505.

Mike K. at first of 2 bolts in dihedral that was the crux for the 60m pitch. Two bolt belay at the end made it a fun cruise on mostly easy rock. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 032605.

We had to hunt to find the 2 bolt belay starting the arete that finishes on the R side of the central chimney /gulley finish to Absinthe. A line of bolts heads up for @ 350' up a steep slab. I had to focus and remember I was on a slab a few times; kind of runout but worth the mental pump. Sonso45 took on nikon digital 032605.

My roommate Austin lowers himself down off of Sheepshead in the West Stronghold. Fell nasty on New Year's Day 05 while placing some pro, broke his ankle. I used to hear "Hey let's go climbing!" but now all I get is "Hey wanna smell my cast?"

Andy enjoys liebacking the o/w on the second pitch. I, however, grunted and walked gear the entire way. Anyhow, it looks like it belongs in Yosemite to me. The granite is every bit as good as it looks.

Here is a close up of the Sheepshead face. Scott Ayers has been putting up a lot of routes on this face. 850 feet high or so. There are some great routes up there!

After a cold day climbing, the view of the rock in the setting sun was amazing.

A nice multi-pitch trad route; apparently bolts have been added to help the sketched out leader in the slabby/no pro sections. Aaron let me led the first and third pitches - what a blast!

Fletcher and Becky finish up a variation of Absinthe of Mallet on Sheepshead in Cochise Stronghold.

A nice, casual pitch, bolt protected, with some chicken heads to sling, just for the hell-of-it...

At nearly 1000 feet, word has it "Absinthe of Mallet" is the longest climb in Arizona with such a short approach. 30 minutes (or less) puts you at the base of this amazing dome.

This is the new finish put up by Scott Ayers. Here Fletcher leads the final pitch of the climb. This is the second of 2 165' pitches to the right of the gully/chimney where the old finish use to be. Talk about burning up the calves!

first pitch of peacemaker, third bolt. wonderful route

A day at Cochise with Smoochie and friends

Here's amy on the 2nd pitch of pm. With Erin and Josh on the 1st pitch below.

Mix of ledges slab and stem, loved it
