So I had a birthday climbing coupon from my family. And when the Brave Little Toaster has a few days off, well, sometimes ya just gotta go!
Anyway, we've been jonesing to see Cochise Stronghold for the first time, so I let Jefe know when we were closing in. His first feedback wasn't positive.......
Let it roll down the highway.
Texas Canyon offers some tasty teasers!
They're bigger than they look.
At Last! It's a looong way from ABQ.
Ahhhh, the pulse quickens!
Local flooooora.
Brave Little Toaster, self portrait.
No time to climb the first evening, so the BLT raises a tall cool one for himself.
The evening light is magical there.
The Zappa shirt was a requirement!
At least now we know that Jefe will be sneaking in to show us n00bs around!
Tomorrow, the meeting of Jefe and The Brave Little Toaster!!

Survival got a little ahead of himself. As your personal tour guide, I pride myself in a geographic as well as a linear educational trip report. Cohise Stronghold is located in Coronado National Forest. As you will see, there is very little to climb there.
A four wheel drive vehicle, although not required, is preferred.
As well as a four-legged friend to pal with...

First night was enjoyable, albiet cold for SW Finland.
After several wake-ups to shake the frost off our bones and fits of laughter as Sheaffer the Wonder Dog tried desperately to get out from the bottom of Survival's sleeping bag, the dawn arrived...
Dawn and dusk light are splendid in this desert Eden.

Now it's off to the Sheepshead, and to see if we can find the elusive Jefe monster.
We've linked up on the phone, so when we saw his Jefemobile pulling into the parking area, it was a great feeling.
It's funny, but after supertopo, it's like we had known each other for years! A handshake and a smile was all it took, but this was no ordinary meeting.
We had our very own personal beta-dictionary and guide for all things Sheepshead! (Good thing since we had no guidebook for that wall. I did have a page printed for Peacemaker off MountainProj.)
But first there was a surreal border scene to deal with. A Peruvian fellow came up and asked us to call the policia. A strange request indeed! Jefe and the BLT did their best to decipher the situation.
Turns out that there was a sick Mexican woman with these two Peruvian guys and they wanted to get her some medical attention for some kind of stomach issue. The BLT is a nurse, so he quickly went to check this lady out.
Meanwhile Jefe tried to make it clear to the guys that there would be much more than an ambulance coming, and they just sadly nodded their heads.
They seemed to relish the food offerings we made.
The local Sheriff that was first on the scene was one impressive looking individual and his spanish was impeccable!
We finally got going on our approach.
Two new friends.
Not only did Jefe and The Brave Little Toaster meet, but so did Sheaffer and Rosebud!

Peacemaker...7 Pitches...5.10a...every pitch.
Once again, we're not tearing up the cutting edge, but for us old farts, it will be a pretty big bite for our first intro to a new place.
"So Jefe, should we take a second rope.....you know, just in case?"
"Nah, it's short crux sections with lots of jugs and glory climbing in between."
"So what about this rack issue?"
"15 draws, maybe one cam."
For seven pitches?.....*gulp*
The Brave Little Toaster was already warming up his famous stutter.
"Hey B..B..B..BBBRUCE, what if this H..H..H..H..HHHJefe guy is a feckin' S..S..S..SSSSSSSANDBAGGER!?"
We're having a ball and we're just getting started! But isn't that the way all good epics start?

I'm still trying to find the cable thingies for my camera. Until then, no photos from me. Mine kick in later in the day anyway.
So yeah, the Banditos give me short notice that they're coming and I manage to swing it. BTW, my car is neither 4WD or high clearance. The road in is known as the "Autobahn of dirt roads".
Days after the immigration scenario I'm still getting calls on my cell from the Peruvian's friends in "New Yersey".
I had been there the week before and climbed Peacemaker myself, well, not BY myself. Anyway, I thought it'd be a perfect route for these guys. I mean, we're dealing with Birchell here, he'll float it. It only has a few tuggy spots and is riddled with bolts.
Then he and Buggs start studderin' "I th th th think J J J Jefe ssssssandbagged us."
I'm thinking, Great these dudes are gonna epic and it's all on me.
Once I saw Bruce kick in with the palm down action I knew they'd be just fine.
It was cool watching them climb the route and hear their banter.
One minute they're German, next minute Asian, studdering...
These guys definitely know how to have a good time when they're climbing.
My plan was to hang with the dogs and scamper to the summit, which I did.
(photos soon, promise.)

First, here's some some proof from the week prior.
Notice the apprehension. This is also when Bruce proclaimed he had runners older than me! My response- "That's your problem!"
Bruce, like riding a bike, kinda.
Buggs, bbbbb buggin
Sheaff skipping bolts
Bruce past the tuggy part of P2
"Jjjjj Jefe- where does it go?"
"I can't remember, can you see the next bolt?"
Tee hee hee, there wasn't one! A nice run to the anchors.

Thanks Jefe. Guys have noted my apparent "uneasiness" before many large climbs that didn't seem to jive with my history. It's like my own little psych way of never underestimating a climb, so when I get past the half way point, I can really start enjoying it. Like it's not as bad as I kept telling myself it might be, make sense?
Getting up on the 4th?

Yeah, so once the Banditos climbed out of view it was just me and the dogs.
Rosebud is pretty rad, and knows the area. Scheaffer has the skills, but is still kinda green. Pretty cool watching a Chihuahua guide a Heeler up the 3rd class descent. They both crushed it.
We waited on the summit for a bit, wondering how da boyz would handle the last few nondescript pitches.

Scheaffer could sense Buggs was close.

Awww man. Thanks for putting this up here guys. It warms my heart. More than about any other area, I NEED to go climb here. My family came over with Cortes from Spain, and made their way up to Hatch county, and the town Truth or Consequences (my grandpa says it wasn't called that until the movie was made, and then they changed the name of the town) and have been in New Mexico, trying to hang on to a shred of Spanish culture since the 1600s. They claim to be spanish, although if one were to live there for 400 years, even with a large group of other spanish families, one would assuredly have Apache and Mexican blood as well. My grandpa has told me stories his grandpa told him of Victorio, the great war leader who raided with Cochise. My family, apparently, still has one of the largest cattle ranches in NM, and back then, my grandpas grandpa would see reeds coming down the middle of the river through their ranch. There were Chiricahua apaches breathing through the reeds, and they would come up through the brush and "liberate" a bunch of horses. My gpas gpa would excitedly notify his dad, and his dad would say "Don't look at them, let them go!" for he knew that to oppose the Apache would be a never-ending war with heavy casualties. Then, in times of feast not famine for the apache, they would find beautifully dressed young deer, perfectly cured on their porches from time to time.
These stories have always fascinated me.

Super fun summit. But even better was the fact that Jefe took care of the critters and met us on top. Now we get a guide for the descent too?

Wildone, that is a great story!!
My family is from southern NM for generations also. Carlsbad, Las Cruces, Ruidoso people.
We went through Hatch and T or C going both ways.
I love the Spanish/Apache history here, and you can freekin' FEEL the Apache spirits in that place.
Where are you now?
Maybe you can give us an excuse to go back!

On the descent was when I really knew I could hang with these guys.
The whole way down they're sayin' stuff and noticing things that only people who've opened up the doors of perception would.
"No way! Look, there's Homer Simpson!"
"Look at that tree. It's so perfect. Like it couldn't be any other way"
I really appreciate that, paying attention to the small things and and seeing the beauty in nature.

We had such a great descent, filling the space with a wide ranging conversation. Everything from spectacular terrain, to far away areas, to old friends, (That's you Pate). If you're willing to let it all in, there is just sooooo much more to climbing than just climbing. This is the kind of connection we made with Jefe.
Here we are marveling at the evening sky when Jefe or Buggs (which one of you was it?) turned around and said WHOAAA!!
This is what filled my happy eyeballs.
How's that for intense color?
And as we hiked out, this was in front of us!

More than 4, Pate. I think misterE and skip left some residual good vibes on the route. I hope that's ALL they left!
The desert alpineglow is always awesome there, and the walkout takes you back through the African savannah-like landscape.
And the Arizona sunset delivered for the outoftowners.

Nice MisterE! There is some awesome light there eh?
So the next day we humped back up to the wall and did the first pitch of Ewephoria, only to discover that we couldn't muster the psych or the energy.
We had a long discussion as so often happens at these moments and decided that what we really wanted to do was a road tour photo shoot!!
I almost forgot Buggs demonstrating the proper technique for bolt pinching, because I taught him 25 years ago never to stick your finger in one....

Hey Sir Vive All, the 1st pitch of Ewephoria is a total sandbag! What do they rate it, 5.7? If that is 5.7 then my johnson is solid gold. The rest of that route is pretty top flight though. Cheers to you and the BLT. I hope to get your way some time soon so don't wear out all the rock.

Gotta make one or two more runs at the last of what we saw, plus our last couple pitches.
I don't even know what all these things are. I was just having too much fun cruising and taking pictures. We ran into a couple of CA guys who got lost looking for their climb. Wandering around there, you can kinda see why!

Wow! What a great adventure. I have no idea where this place is ... but the landscape looks fantastic. I miss this kind of stuff. "Howdy-dog" would have liked this too!
Thanks for sharing!

Leggs, we're shooting for 10 days. As far as a yard camp, I wouldn't mind, but I can't speak for Doug and his GF, we'll be traveling together. I'm not the head honcho, I'm a co-honcho at best!

And now we have threads about toasters. Toasters with imaginary moral qualities. This place is really going to pot.

Looks like y'all had a nice trip last January. In general, is the weather pretty stable/climbable that time of year? Thinking about catching a flight from Asheville, NC to Tucson this January for some wintertime desert climbing.
