The Homestead

Introduction

Welcome to The Homestead! A little slice of limestone heaven carved out of the Mescal mountains in central Arizona. Guarded by a 4-wheel drive road, this canyon lays off the beaten path and reserved for those with a thirst for adventure. Statuesque saguaro cacti line the canyon slopes, which are also home to vibrant desert life. The Homesteads walls provide climbers with a variety of pristine limestone features: tufas, drapery, blocky roofs, in-cuts, and fossil studded faces. The showcase walls have 115 sport routes ranging in difficulty from 5.10 to 5.13 that require powerful, improbable, and imaginative moves. With endless days of desert sunshine and wide-open camping, this is the perfect winter destination. Let this inaugural book lead you to the challenging routes at The Homestead.
