Hell is for Heroes
Five day Mt. Lemmon trip with Jason W. I believe we climbed the two better multi pitch moderate climbs on Mt. Lemmon, Cripple Creek and Pitfalls of Hesitation on this first trip. Hell is for Heroes is another excellent moderate trad route, albeit shorter, to the left of Cripple. The "R" rating is for 5.7 climbing above the 5.9 portion. I advise leaving your packs at the col between Pharaoh and Ripple Wall. Keep your approach shoes on to descend to the base and then drink and eat on each rap descent before returning to the base again. You can access good sport routes to finish the day off, on Ripple right from this col.
