Route to Ajo:
Follow the trail to Bull Pasture Overlook, descend to the pasture and climb to
the south ridge via any number of canyons which cut its west face. Follow the
ridge north. An alternate route, less pleasant because of thick brush is the
north fork of Estes Canyon to the saddle and then SE to the summit.
