Take a helmet and watch out for loose rock and old bolts.

My father, Doug Black, did the FA of Spider Walk, with Floyd Theobald and Jon Beimer (I think) in the late '60's or early 70's. All I know is that he said it was sum pretty "loose" stuff ... but you know the sups! They rock and roll!

If you climb in the right area the Sups have some of the best rock in the state.

Beautiful rock, you can take home all you want. The route is only mentally demanding. The position is awesome, as usual for the Supes' west face.
Oh and the first pitch overhang must be missing a bolt. Second scariest part of the route for me. Missing the second pitch anchors and climbing too high then downclimbing maxed out my fun meter.

The only hot springs near Sedona are on the Verde River east of Camp Verde. Should be easy to google. Campgrounds abound in the area, the safest would be the pay type. Have fun and email if you want more specifics.

Mark,
Spent some time scouting around those bands of limestone near Bisbee myself,
Did you ever come across any "quality"
Or hear of any?

sac,
no, not the best of quality but the band that I pictured I never made it up to and it looks ok?, at least from the road, its off the west side going north out of Bisbee after the tunnel. The Huachuca band is taken from Carr towards the Fort property.

You can drive down some roads like Dry Creek Road and others in the area that will put you near the sandstone but camping on sandstone would require a bivy. Maybe the 4wd road near Japhead parking may be close enough to the car and far enough out of town. That would put you in the center of lotta sandstone.

Hey T*R,
There are a few of us from Flag on here.
"aka safe for 2 girls traveling solo" Hmmm 2 does not equal solo.
You should just find a nice spot out on a FS road. They might not be open in April though. Lots of snow this year. I think that would be safer than being around people.
There is a few nice CG down Oak Creek Canyon.
Verde Hot Springs is a good spot.
Verde Hot Springs has a lot of regulars and "long term" campers. I don't camp there. But there is nudity there :)

Just saw that comment...I don't know where you got the idea that the overhang had a bolt at any time. The topo and info from Waugh's guide in Jan. '87 doesn't mention or show one, there wasn't one when I originally did the route in '93, and there is no broken off bolt hole/sleeve at the overhang indicating one was there. Just wondering??
