Notch Peak is second highest pure vertical drop in the United States. With a vertical rise of over 2,000 ft. the view is incredible. This is remote and unique terrain. The approach climbs up a beautiful desert granite canyon. It is true north facing and involves 12 pitches to climb. The second pitch has some 5.11 moves but most of the climbing is 5.10 that is well protected. There is no doubt this is terrible limestone that is loose and dirty. Rock fall is a huge hazard so be sure you’ve got your helmet. All belays are on comfortable ledges and you will be in the shade most of the time. Rapelling back down is the best descent. Bring two 60m ropes, a single rack to 2” and a dozen alpine style draws.
