East from summit toward Mazatzal Divide. 

This delimitation separating Gila and Maricopa counties is distinctly noticeable looking east from the Beeline Highway where Sycamore Creek crosses at Round Valley, significantly higher and southeast from Sycamore Wall, Crabtree Butte and Boulder Pass (Boulder Bobs Cabin).

The main approach is arduous, reminiscent of the obligatory struggle accessing some of the routes found in a few other Arizona backcountry climbing areas, e.g. the Sedona Area, Superstition Mountains and Grand Canyon. That is the only similarity, as the resemblance ends there because this is really just another crag with mostly single pitch routes. Regardless, the analogous remoteness and mostly worthy, unclimbed granite may justify the gumption for some. There are at least two alternative approaches, one being FR 1704 (4x4) from Round Valley (near The Colony) that becomes undrivable at ~3350', below the Boulder Mountain Spring and the second is a motoproject route from SR87 south of Round Valley that accesses upper Pine Creek.

Standard approach is Ballantine Trail #283 near mile marker 210 of SR87 (Beeline Highway).

The parking loop is at ~2250’ and ascends ~1400’ in ~3¼ miles to the Camp Creek junction ENE of The Boulders, where a distinct motorcycle track transects the Ballantine Trail at a four-way junction. Continuing straight (east) accesses Ballantine Canyon and eventually reaches the Mazatzal Divide. I’m not sure where the right (south) fork goes, but there's surely more granite along that route. The left fork roughly ascends north, crossing a ridge, then descends steeply into the Pine Creek basin (+0.6 mile).
