Blessed with a never ending supply of untouched stone and cursed with a full time job.
Found a few single pitch towers I was unaware of near Dry Creek last weekend.

Walked out to Leviathan Dome. It is a long walk but worth the time.
This was our view on the way out. Lot of rock and just a short walk away. Next winter maybe...

Nice shot of the The Prow! Paul's best lead at the Forks, IMO.
The regular North Face route on Leviathan is probably the best long back country route around Tucson. You gotta do it and having the approach wired is good when you are trying to go car to car in a day.
When I did it with Paul Davidson we started our predawn adventure with a rear wheel on his family Powerwagon in a ditch trying to turn around.
We thought we were hosed but miraculously a rancher with a big ole dual axle truck came by in a matter of minutes and easily plucked us out to carry on our approach still in the darkness!
With such help we got back to the car at dark after a long and wonderful day. No camera on that one unfortunately but I would love to go and do it again.

Leviathan Dome is a long walk from the car in warm weather. But the rock in the shade is perfect. After three hours, Jesse Morales and I had a blast on the NE face.
We made it up two more new pitches. I think. We may be close to User Friendly. Recognize anything?

Wow, I have no recollection of that at all. Well... now it's a fuzy memory pbbly only made real by your telling of it. Like watching old home movies and they become a part of your life memories :-)
Now I remember, thinking we were F'D UP for the day with that move.
I also remember getting way off route and strung out and then the hike out, once down in the scrub, taking FOR EVER.
BITD we parked out just off Oracle didn't we ? No nice state park to save a cpl of miles of hiking.
BTW - this thread needs more Waterfall pics...

When I walked into Leviathan with CourtNey, we came across some worrying tracks.....
We did Table for Two and Wily Javelina before heading out in the daylight!

Beautiful hard quartzite abounds in Sierra Ancha. But there is a lot of choss to wade through at times.
This is a fun but small area. There is a lot of rock here.

Where would you guys go to climb right now if you were stuck in Arizona? Is Mt. Lemmon being deluged now? The weather reports seem to say yes but I would like to get intel from someone on the ground so to speak.

I'm stuck in Arizona too. I like going north to Winslow. Beautiful canyon with water. Watch the lightning wherever you go.
