Space Mountain

One prominent feature on this part of Saddle Rocks is a large left-facing corner system (

The Unicorner

). Start up that climb for 20 feet then traverse right on a fairly awkward ledge passing a bolt until you reach a spot you can stand up. From here the climbs goes more or less straight up past 7 more bolts on steep, exposed and sometimes a little loose patina plates. There is a slight runout near the top but the climbing is much easier.

Great steep climbing in an exposed atmosphere unlike much of Saddle Rocks which is known for slabs.

This was the back cover photo of the 1992 Vogel guide (1st printing).

This climb lies on the north side of Saddle Rocks, which is around the left skyline as viewed from the road. Approach as for Saddle Rocks proper, but once near the base head left and scramble up talus around to the north face.

8 bolts, bolted anchor/rap (3/8"), gear to 1.5 inches for the lower part of the climb.
