Sun Devil Wall Routes
- Sun Devil Crack 10? Various parties have ascended this line, none more than once. The lower portion is more of a choss pile than a crack, making both climbing and protection difficult. The rock improves above but gets wide quickly. Its a cool line though!
- Sun Devil 11b/c ***. Three pitches of fun in the sun. Several months were involved in the development of this route, with a crow bar and mallet being the primary tools. However, all of the South facing rock at Diablo goes through extreem temperature fluxuations and freeze/thaw cycles during the winter. As a result there is, even still, a continuous danger of loose rock and spontanious rock fall. A helmet and the ability to tred lightly are both highly recommended on all of the South facing routes. Pitch 1, 5.9 **, better than it looks, ends at a nice ledge. Pitch 2, 11b/c **, getting past the roof is the crux, much easier if you know where the holds are. Continues at 5.10 to the belay. Pitch 3, 11b ***, incredible rock and exposure characterize the knife edge arete. Three short rappels with one 60m rope will get you down.
