Does anyone know anything about ascending the ridge east of Sugarloaf Ridge -- that is, the ridge directly above and east of Falling Rock Canyon?

OK, now I gotcha.

Here's a route on it: http://www.summitpost.org/route/430611/ ... k-5-6.html

Most of the route is loose class 4 and 5 with lots of small trees. The rock is typically not as good as near Sheep Canyon. I'd like to go with... but I have court and lack a running car. :-(

Fir Draw Crag is pretty good, with a few loose spots. It's the ridge east of Fir Draw. I'd personally go this way instead if scrambling is your thing.
