Helmet, The
Description
[Edit]A fun little crag with some unusual routes. Mt Lemmons's answer to the Frog Prince area at Datil.
Easy to see as you drive up the Mt Lemmon Highway. It looks like a helmet sitting up on the slope in front of you as you drive past Col. Birdseye.
Morning shade.
The crag is west-facing with a vertical face on the left, and a shallow cave on the right.
It's a good idea to check the nuts on chain-draw hangers frequently. Let me know if any are loose.
Not a big deal in our dry climate, but FWIW this crag is totally stainless steel.
There is some confusion (my fault) about route naming in the cave:
Chain Gang - the name EFR gave to the roof chains.
No Climb For Old Men = El Torito start + Chain Gang Freeloader = Dwarf Toss start + Chain Gang
