Pate, I'll have to ask Andrew, never did ask him. He's fast at changing lenses for sure. Jaybro, I'll email ya. It is a stellar route. Does anyone know of another finish other than right up the middle?
Blessedly, the noise factor was non-existent. It was a weekday and maybe the tourists have gone the way of the economy!

There are at least four different finishes that have been done over the years.
A sketch of the options looks like a football playbook...

Superstition Mtns at the east edge of Phoenix is home to the Hobgoblins and many more big outings on volcanic rock. The Hobgoblin Spires are in Suction Gully, Spiderwalk is at the start of the gully, Grandfather Hobgoblin is in the back. Suction Gully is found off the Siphon Draw trail just as you reach the west face walls.
Pate: that's a 15mm lens

Take a helmet and watch out for loose rock and old bolts.

My father, Doug Black, did the FA of Spider Walk, with Floyd Theobald and Jon Beimer (I think) in the late '60's or early 70's. All I know is that he said it was sum pretty "loose" stuff ... but you know the sups! They rock and roll!

If you climb in the right area the Sups have some of the best rock in the state.

Beautiful rock, you can take home all you want. The route is only mentally demanding. The position is awesome, as usual for the Supes' west face.
Oh and the first pitch overhang must be missing a bolt. Second scariest part of the route for me. Missing the second pitch anchors and climbing too high then downclimbing maxed out my fun meter.

The only hot springs near Sedona are on the Verde River east of Camp Verde. Should be easy to google. Campgrounds abound in the area, the safest would be the pay type. Have fun and email if you want more specifics.

Mark,
Spent some time scouting around those bands of limestone near Bisbee myself,
Did you ever come across any "quality"
Or hear of any?
