Cochise Stronghold climb

Question
I read about ewephoria. How do I identify the start of the climb?
Any topo info available?

Thanks,

Scott

Answer
Scott,


It's a bit tricky to find. However, you go up the decent gully on the left side of the dome. While on the trail, look for a cairn, which takes you to the right and the base of the wall. The first cairn you come to is not the route. Look for a second cairn further uphill and a left leaning ramp, this is the start of the first pitch. If you look up at the wall during the approach, you will see a large finger of rock with slings around it; ewephoria starts just uphill from that. The approach from the parking area will bring you to the route "absenth of mallet", then skirt around the dome to your right to get to ewephoria.


Good luck,

Jeff
