Southeast Face is a sport climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in Arizona's Arizona Strip Field Office, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The area sits right next to the Phalanx of Will climbing area, about a tenth of a mile away. The climbing here is all sport, with six routes graded from 5.12a to 5.13b. The hardest is Frozen Snake Dance at 5.13b. Several of the routes were first climbed by Perkins and his partners, including Crystal Balls at 5.12a and One Bulge Wonder at 5.12b. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at St. George, Utah, run to highs around 75°F in April and 79°F in October, while July highs average about 102°F and winter lows drop to around 28°F. Nearby options include the Phalanx of Will climbing area, the Fort Pearce Wash paddling route and the Fossil Canyon Trail and Meditation Rock hikes, all within about 6 to 8 miles.
