Curious why it was not included in PhxRock? Maybe it is as simple as the routes were set afterwards? or maybe juicier than that?
There are 400+ established routes in the Superstitions, an amount that comes out to a guidebook of 300+ pages, about the same size as Phoenix Rock II itself. Marty had already done the Queen Creek guide after the explosion of routes there, so it seemed like the best way to go would be for an individual guide to the Supes.

Oops... sorry Pernell.
Virtually all of the (original) routes in Zonerland, The Labyrinth, and The Cemetary went up following the publication of Phoenix Rock in January 1987. I know by that point, Jim W. was actively encouraging climbers to go out and check the area for it's vast route potential.

Team Wipper. You are exactly one of the folks I am fishing for. Quiet unassuming climber comes up to Zonerland at the height of its creation and with zero attitude, sends everything. Then he vanish's over the ridge and plucks the top grape from the vine and names it Shredlocks In A Babalon leaving the Queen to visit and labels his work as one of the best that Arizona has to offer. I hope things are going well for you.
These are the only photos I have of Shredlocks and they dont show it very well.
Here is another route that you put up just to the left of Shredlocks. The American Sportsman 11d
A couple of other good climbers that spent some time up in Zonerland.

The guy on the rock watching Larry lead is Matt Lofdahl. He is the Red Headed Rock Pecker and The one who named Zonerland.
A photo of him cutting of tat to placate the rangers and to install the chains on top of RHRP. Frodo pointing things out.

Rick - I've seen quite a few of your photos now and don't think I've ever paid an appropriate compliment for the great shots you have taken. Very nice!
