I'm on vacation in Tucson this week and got in a pretty nice hike yesterday. I'm guessing we climbed about 1500 feet or so, round trip took us about 2 hours. It was a good workout, very technical - lots of loose terrain/rubble and biting cactus all over the place.

The yellow line roughly shows our path. If I get a chance to go back out, I want to hit the larger (thought not as high) rock that you can start to see along the upper right edge of the photo.

going to try to get back out today and get up on that other rockface. Weather looks perfect, but I'll probably wait until after the mid-day sun passes.
