Tucson Part 1 - Mt. Lemmon

Just got back from a 9-day trip to the Tucson area where we did some climbing and hung out with some ex-Portlanders. The first few days we did some cragging up at Mt. Lemmon. The first day we went to a lower elevation crag called 'La Milagrosa' (aka 5.11 heaven):

Our second day of climbing was at a crag called "The Wall of the Marching Munchkins." This was a fun little wall a little higher up on the mountain. We had the whole place to ourselves so most of these are butt-shots:








Note - Tucson has amazing sunsets, and a really great place to watch them is from Hitchcock Pinnacle at Windy Point:
