Sitting high up the South fork of Oak Creek, a heavyweight bout awaits you; a 35 meter line finishing on bullet proof varnish through a 20 foot horizontal roof corner crack. This line just about has it all; starting with a technical tips crack (11-), continue up the varied corner to a stance below the roof. Put up your dukes and prepare for the championship round. The roof starts as perfect 4s and narrows to wide 3s culminating in a knockout punch to the lip. Do you have what it takes to hoist the belt? This would be a standout pitch at Indian Creek but as this is red rock, expect a bit of a hike (1.5 hours uphill if you know where you are going). Interested in thoughts on the grade. This area never sees sun; you will want a forecast of 65 and above in Blue Diamond to be comfortable up there.

Put Up Your Dukes

This zone describes the gulley above Pirate Wall which falls on the descent to Gift of the Wind Gods. This area is home to the mega roof crack "Put Up Your Dukes" as well as potential for the adventurous type. These walls never see sun and are sheltered from wind making a good option for warmer weather and when the winds are howling. Expect a 1-1.5 hour approach. The rock here is similar in nature to Challenger Wall and Jet Stream Wall
