Camelback: Rock Climbers & Killer Bees don't mix

Bees struck the climbing community again in November, but this time the climbers survived. According to a blog on the Phoenix New Times website, at least one beehive is located along the Hart Route, a popular Camelback climbing route touted in guide books.

These climbers survived the incident, unlike a climber who fell to his death six years ago trying to escape bees along this same route.

What I find interesting about this is that the independent blogger gathered and found more information than any of the local newshounds who left out the route name, and the history of other specific bee attacks.
