I finished it over the course of 3 days, including painting it with two coats of protective stain and one coat of Metloius wall textured paint. Then I surrounded it with 12" of pea gravel to make softer landings. Routes from VO to V6( thats as hard as I can set) The wall became a real attraction and I had people I didn't even know ask if they could come over and climb, and have birthday parties there.

Under Attack 5.12A - A Great Climb in a fun sport climbing area in Arizona. Jacks has lots of climbs from 5.8 to 5.13 - and its easy to follow the shade all day long!

A fun and interesting climb up the N.E. Ridge of Bugaboo Spire must be completed by 2:00pm - or the rains will come and wash you away like they did to us - downclimbing the Kain route when wet is no fun!

Conrad Kain was the legend who started it all in the Bugaboos - and his portrait stands watch in the hut for all climbers to pay homage

This shot brings 3 of the main objectives for Bugaboo climbers together in one frame. We were there in early August and there was still a lot of snow in the Howser group - the Becky Chounaird had a 30 foot summitt cornice!

This shot on the last pitch of the Fin shows the LDS church vault parking lot. Avoid the lot and traverse in. Great climb for 5.10 and I recommend the Aquiline arete variation on the last pitch.

This is the place to stay while climbing in the Bugs - if you like noise, smells, and high prices - otherwise hit Applebee just up the way. Great views though and awesome bouldering around the hut

This was a great day - sunny, warm, and full of promise - till the thunderstorm that is. A great route with awesome summitt views

The wall was going up slowly, but the hired help made all the difference - (for a 2 year old)

Even the neighbor kids helped out - or got in the way - but all together I built the wall for $100 including holds Metolius paint, and plywood etc... A true labor of love
