The Ponds has lots of routes in our wheelhouse. Approach from parking area on US 60 is not bad but gets rough as you reach the westernmost crags. Watch your footing. This is a great place to climb. Excellent volcanic rock with nearly all sport routes with excellent protection. Some of the old routes near the Pond look to have older and smaller bolts. We went on up to the left. Nice southern exposure, so good for winter. Would be cooker in summer. The only downside is the constant noise from traffic climbing US 60 below. I'm sure JJ knows about this place already, but the Los Hermanos in Superior is an excellent Mexican Res. Highly recommend it. We'll be back to both places.
