Start down in the wash, climb up on good pockets to the bulge (crux).  It is essential to get your feet high and go big through the crux reaching high for the pocket up by the 5th bolt.  Above is 5.5 climbing to the chains.

Awkward bouldery start to get above the bulge, into easy slab finish.  Good holds and no feet to start.  Get a high right and pivot up to the decent holds a few feet above the bulge.  You will walk the upper section if you can knock out the start.

Start in the creek or up on the ledge.  Either way clip the first bolt from the ledge.  If you are scared stick clip the second, but it really isn't necessary.  Wild inverted start through the hueco leads to an easy finish.  Love this route.

Best place for anyone to start in Last Chance.  Easy slab for 25 feet that can get your heart pumping if you a beginner. 

  At the crux bulge section above the 2nd bolt.  The better feet move left and most reach for the good hands out right.

Climb up into the great undercling, then move left on thin edges into slab section.  The final few moves are harder than the rest of the walls at this height.

Hard start leads to an easy slab finish.  At the bulge, some weird awkward moves, using the small holds makeup the crux.  Deliberate foot action will help you surmount the bulge.  The upper section feels like 5.5 once you unlock the lower section.

A fun warm-up with a few good moves.  Work the jugs low, ignore all the marginal holds, set your feet high to reach the 2 finger pocket right of the bolt with your right hand then clip.  Crank up to another great positive rail and step up into a no hands rest.  Step up to some easy 5.5 face to the chains.  Be sure to get total value from the climb at the finish.  Use the good pocket to set your feet high and reach up to the rail above and 15 inches right of the chains for the better clipping hold.

The Tombstone area is home to a good selection of moderate lines.  The cliff faces west, and is rather short.  Most of the routes are quite diminutive, though there are a couple of moderate length climbs.  The shorter lines on the right end of the wall begin up on a sloping tier, and generally ascend a steeper section at the bottom before slabbing out.   

  The canyon's easiest routes are found here, but many of the lines require powerful sequences, so this may not be the best choice for beginners. 

  Additionally there is a BEE HIVE on the south end of the cliff.  Considering the proximity to Sitting Bull Falls, its seems plausible that these may be KILLER BEES.
