Little tricky at first but overall pretty simple climb. 5.8???

The crux would be had on the last move prior "topout"   All the holds are solid other than the last left hand. Seems a little questionable. 

  Note: Large crack is on for feet but the skirt is off.

Don't climb this route. Every hold sounds hollow, and the bolts are unlikely to hold a fall.  

  Pretty ok rock takes you to the first bolt. From here, climb up and left to a second bolt, and continue going up and left to a third bolt. From here the rock is lower angle, up to a ledge system. There is a two bolt anchor near the palo verde tree.  

  Be careful pulling your rope, you will probably pull down some rocks. Stand back from the base. 

  Wear a helmet; pull down down not out!

This is the most direct route to the summit of the butte. The anchor also provides the best rappel route from the summit. Five bolts were hand drilled on lead on the FA, hence the name. The rock is pretty good for Papago, but terrible by any other standard. You are forced to climb through much loose rock, which warrants an R/X rating. 

  The route starts at an exposed belay with a single bolt. Traverse left to a second bolt, then go up and left to clip a third bolt before running it out to the anchor straight above.  

  Note: about 20 feet left of the anchor is a beehive. They didn't bother me at all, but bee careful.

Papago Park is nothing to get too excited about. The rock is Choss and there are only a few clean routs. However if you live in tempe and looking to go for a quick climb or some rappelling it's worth a shot.   

  Brand new bolts put up a few months ago at the tippy top...this opens the door for some sweat climbs or close to 150ft-200ft rappels. The rock is very brittle but after some traffic and cleaning could be fun.
