I'm going to be staying in N. Tucson for the entire month of April and would love to hook up with some local climbers. I'm interested in getting out to Mt. Lemmon, Queen Creek, and The Isle of You (sp?) My schedule should be fairly flexible. Anyway, I'm primarily a sportclimber and have been climbing for about 15 years (haven't dropped anyone yet!) As far as grades go, I'm pretty flexible--anything from 5.9 to easy 5.13 works for me, assuming my elbows are cooperating. Kind of advanced notice, I know, but PM me if you think you might be interested.

I will be in Phoenix area the last week of February and the first week of March for business. I fly in from Michigan but this time my climbing buddies are going the other way. It would be great to find a few that want to sport or top rope. I've been climbing in AZ for over 7 years but (5.8 - 5.9). I climb for fun. Even if you are just getting started it would be fine. I hate hauling my gear just to sit in the hotel room. Let me know.

Does this mean you are looking for single women trad climbers only? I am always looking to find someone I can learn trad from. I can certainly follow up to 5.9.

I would like a partner for Sedona this Sunday, March 5 - - someone who can meet up either in Sedona or Flagstaff pretty early Sunday morning. I can lead everything unless otherwise desired. I am flexible about what we climb, but generally I have enjoyed routes there such as Praying Hands, the Prosecutor, etc.. I would be happy to either follow someone on something harder than I can lead there or take someone out who isn’t familiar with the area or that type of climbing. Please PM any responses, thanks.

Flagstaff got a touch of SNOW. Holy cow. but today it is gone. Not Good for skiing but the climbing is great everywhere. I would count on the USFS closing the forests again this summer. Travel or learn to love the Gym when it is nice outside. :(

As with all other such threads (Mass Climbers, Front Range, etc.) I've stopped this thread from echoing to the front page of the site. It shall still be easiy viewed by checking in the "Mountain States" forum, but fair is fair, and we have to treat all threads equally.

Thanks! Usually because of an ongoing fire, or a dramatically high fire danger. This winter has been very dry, and the whole darn state is like a big tinder box, ready to burn at even the sight of a match. Areas affected can vary, but the Forks, the Pit, and Priest Draw are all distinct possibilities. Dunno about Jacks or Lemmon.

In reply to: something like that, i am actually enjoying because i can go climb like every weekend. That's pretty short-sighted. I wouldn't be happy about the frighteningly dry winter and spring we've had. This state is a tinder box and I'll bet money that the climbing "opportunities" you're enjoying now will be non-existent come summer.

The USFS shuts the forest down because people start fires. A very large majority of fires are started by people, like camp fires, chainsaws, ATVs, and guns. All that fun stuff on the forest. Climbing areas affected in Flagstaff? ALL. Thats right. Jacks, Pit, Forks, Elden, Priest Draw, Overlook. Michael PS It is snowing but we are along ways from enough.

If you all are done spewing spray, maybe you should just SHUT UP AND CLIMB! Would love to hook up with some climbers in the prescott area to maybe go to forks or the pit on the weekends. Maybe even some local areas like the dells or the promised land. Let me know. l

hi there, i posted this elsewhere, but no replies yet, so i'll try again. i'll be in sedona this weekend (march 18-19th) and have to work in the AM on the 18th, but would love to get some climbing in otherwise. if anyone's up for taking a visitor with them (i'll have my own car), that would be terrific. or, if you have suggestions for where i may be able to find other climbers, maybe even a guide, or just suggestions for bouldering, it'd all be greatly appreciated. just PM me or email me at onthemind@gmail.com. thanks much! best, jyl

Hey all, I have a couple of weeks off of work and am looking to get on some climbs. I am in Tucson, might be going up to queen creek in a few days, basically I am pretty much open. Let me know if anyone is looking to climb this weekend or during the week, thanks! I have a sport rack, can lead into the mid 10's but would love to follow some trad.

I'm going to be in Tucson on the first and am staying for at least a month, with a (sort of) flexible schedule. I'm interested in doing some sportclimbing and maybe bouldering in the area--Mt. Lemmon, Isle of You, Queen Creek--and would love to get out with some locals, if anyone needs a partner. Also, a few questions: I have the AZ Falcon Guide, but it's kind of old and incomplete. Many of the newer sport areas aren't in it. I heard that there's an up to date guide to Mt. Lemmon available at the Summit Hut. Is that true? Same comment on Queen Creek--I can't find a guide. Does the Summit Hut or somewhere in Phoenix have one? What about a bouldering guide? Finally, I heard some noise about closures on Mt. Lemmon due to fire hazard and raptor nesting. Anyone know about this? Thanks! And again, if anyone out there needs a climbing partner starting the 1st, let me know.

I'll be in queen creek this saturday and maybe sunday doin some sport. Maybe in yakov wall or the mine area. Any of you guys up for that, I'd be happy to take 1 or 2 others, just pm me. Probably start on .8 or .9 and get on a .10 and hopefully an .11. If my buds cant go, I'm going to binghamland or tinkerbell wall for some bouldering.

Hi AZ folks... I'll be in the Tempe/Phoenix area for a conference on April 22-28. But I'll actually be free on Saturday afternoon April 22, Sunday April 23 all day and Monday April 24 all day. I'd love to explore some of the local climbing. Can anyone point me and my buddy (unless you are willing guide us) to some easy sport climb areas (I can lead sport up to some 5.9) or areas where a top rope setup is relatively simple and accessible (will top top 5.10 and some 5.11, but my climbing partner likes to stay in the 5.7 yo 5.9 area). Although I've taken a basic anchor building class at J-tree, I have no experience in trad climbing and very little trad gear with which to set up anchors (but might buy a few key pieces if I have to). Your help would be much appreciated. If you feel like joining us and showing us the crags, we can provide transportation from the Tempe area. Thanks PD

if you are looking for someone to show you where to climb, i would be will ing to go with you, i would bring a friend ofcoarse, so that we dont end up with 3 people, i usually go to queen creek for good sport climbing. Check out the mine area, upper devils, i wouldnt reccomend going to the pond, every route there is like 5.10 and up. Upper devils would probly be your best bet, i pretty much know all of the routes there, most of them are in the 5.7-5.10a range and they are fairly soft rated. If you want to check out the routes go to the phoenix area routes and then go to queen creek section, from there dont click on the upper devils area, the places are pancake house,the throne and just look around, youll find something good out there, let me know if you want to go, i will bring a friend, possibly a big group to where we could get a lot of climbing in.

also check http://www.drtopo.com/index4.html for queen creek and oak flats. The QC one shows a small number of their massive number of sport climbs, and the oak flats shows a decent number of their plethora of bouldering.

Sweet! Yeah, I'll probably take you up on that offer to come along.. with a friend or a group. The more the merrier. The plan at the current moment is for me and my main climbing buddy to go out climbing Sat, Sun and Mon. But especially on Sat, we may have one or two additional complete beginner joining us. Almost our whole department will be in the area for a conference and some are wanting to try rock climbing. Many are attending training on Sunday and Monday, whereas myself and my buddy are not. It's a shame we'll have to occupy ourselves with climbing ;). I guess we'll touch base again closer to the date... but you can count on us being there on those days: April 22, 23, 24.

The Falcon guide is just not a good resource for Lemmon climbing. Get Squeezing the Lemmon at Summit Hut. A lot of climbs (mostly sport climbs at higher elevations) have gone up since it was published but it's pretty complete.

Hello! :) I reside in WA. I am in Phoenix for work. I am busy until 4:30 pm each day. I am staying next to the Metrocenter. This is my first time in AZ. I would like to climb outside. I have until Thursday. I am leaving for NM Friday afternoon. I would like to hit up Pinnacle Peak for a 5.7 - 5.9 ish predominetly crack type line (if available?). I am thinking something like: Happy Robots 5.7 Birthday Party 5.7 Mickey Mantle 5.8 Delayed flight 5.8 It all depends on approach times. I can be on the road from the Metrocenter at 4:31 pm, so I think it is possible to be on route by 5:01 pm. Anybody else agree? :lol: Leave me a message or give me a call! cell: 509 200 2469 I brought my own vehicle, rack, rope, harness, shoes, etc. Ken P.S. I am going to hike Camelback Mtn. this evening with my shoes and harness in tow, trying to bogart laps on other peoples ropes. :wink:

Whoa! I haven't climbed at PP in 17 years and I check this thread for the first time and somebody is talking about a route I put up that day! My wife and I put up Happy Robots the Day before we got married. We did another one that day to but I don't remember the name. It is a pretty short route as I remember. Enjoy... BTW we are still happily married too.

I know it's a few weeks away, but anyone interested in Flagstaff climbing/camping/brain cell killing on May 13, 14, 15, and 16 (Sat-Tues.) I'll be done with finals, will have my first full weekend off since January, and will be in the mood for rocks, beer, and campfires.

I just moved to Casa Grande and am looking for regular or not so regular partners for Mt. Lemmon or elsewhere in the southern AZ area. I prefer sport to trad but I'm willing to do either, up to 5.8 or 5.9. If interested for this weekend or any other time, please p.m. me. Thanks.

Okay... a couple of co-workers and I will be leaving Tempe around 12 this Saturday heading for Queen Creek (Upper Devils/Pancake house maybe... will get the paper guide book at REI after we land Friday) for the afternoon. Anybody wanting to join us either to just hang out and climb or guide us around are welcome. We'll be looking for easy stuff ranging from 5.6 to 5.9 and will try some harder stuff if we can set up top ropes from other climbs. If you see two guys with pony tails that look like they are not used to the area... that'll be us, give us a shout. We might be coming back Sunday and Monday, but will likely look for a different spot. Hope to come across some of you.

Bumpage for May 13 and 14 in Flag. I'll be heading up Saturday morning, as I'm working a 24 hour shift on the 12th (Friday,) and get off duty at 0700. Plan on being at the parking lot for the Pit around 10am. Camp somewhere Saturday night, climb Oak Creek Overlook Sunday, and head back Sunday evening (working Monday.) Ed, Hillary, Curt, Alex, Bill... who's in?

I am ditching graduation for this (the blue maternity space-blanket that passes for "academic attire" just does not flatter, and they mail the diplomas anyway). I don't know when we'd get in, Saturday morning I assume. I'll check with Alex on the Pit and get back to ya... I don't know what his tendons are thinking right now as far as limestone pockets go. Ed, are you saying you're joining us??? Swooooon! I'll give Kole a jingle. Maybe he's NOT dirtbagging in Yos just yet... JRB... Fat Tire.

Hello Arizona folks, Anyone interested in partnering up on Sunday 5/13 at Mt. Lemmon? I am driving to Nogales by Monday, so I am planning to get to the area on Saturday night, and get acquainted with Mt. Lemmon on Sunday. On my best days, I lead 5.10 sport, 5.6 trad, and follow 5.11 sport, 5.9 trad. I'll have my rack and will be as safe and attentive as they get.

Looking for mentor to assist in my knowlege and learning of TRAD climbing. I'm starting down the long and interesting path of TRAD climbing.

Maybe. :D Climbingcowboy, what say let's look for a few days off towards the end of the month, and you and I will hit up Sedona or Watson? I'll hit Tucson this weekend with Climbsomething and Tucsonalex and anyone else that wants to head south. I'm exercising my non-existant authority and making a command decision. I have it on good authority that the higher elevations of Lemmon are not a blistering inferno, and that I might even be able to tolerate it. ;) Climbsomething, pick a convenient place to meet on Saturday morning, around 10am. I'll get off work at 0700, swing by my place to get the gear and the dog, and head south. While picking this meeting place, do keep in mind that I don't know Tucson all that well, and might need to make a cell phone call to say "Where the $%#@ am I?" Bill, keep me posted? Curt, you in for bolts on Lemmon on Sunday? Ford, are you reading this? Anyone else? Anyone? Buhler? Buhler?

I might be in for some climbing at Lemmon Saturday? I never did make it to the AZ gathering 4.X due to the rain forecast. I am in the process of going through intense negotiations with the wife on scheduling (i.e read begging). I have planned to do Mars Attacks in Sedona, Tahquitz, and Oak Creek Canyon Overlook in the next few weekends. I suppose I have to give somewhere and put in face time/honeydo list management :? Let you guys know soon…that is if you don’t mind another climber tagging along.

WE're climbing at Munchkinland on Saturday, right Climbsomething? Where shall we camp? Rose Canyon or Prison Camp? At any rate, keep an eye out for my car: Black Dodge Intrepid, temporary dealer tags. I'm the tall guy with glasses, a cigar, piss-poor footwork technique, and a black and brown shepherd/husky mix.

In reply to: I'm camping at my house ;) heh. But will gladly hang for awhile wherever you decided to camp if you feel like throwing a campfire party. Wow... a real outdoors woman, eh? ;)
In reply to: Camping location is up to you. OK... we'll figure that out later. For anyone who wants to hook up with Climbsomething, Tucsonalex, Bill, and myself, we're climbing at Munchkinland today.
In reply to: Call me if you want directions to my pad. Will call in a few hours. I'm leaving work, heading home to get the dog, take a shower, and I'm on the road.

My moderate sunburn is aching (leathery back here I come!), the pizza is mostly digested, and the photos have been removed from the card and hacked at. Ta-da: http://hillarydavis.com/...ing/jeffcolonel1.jpg Jeff on something that he found out, upon his eventual return to the ground, was 5.10. Col. Birdseye crag (BEST APPROACH on the whole mountain. Even better than Hitchcock Pinnacle, IMHO) http://hillarydavis.com/...imbing/pennyfoot.jpg Penny-edging: when you're not hardcore enough for dime-edging. This penny and several other coins (including a nickel, dime, and Canadian and U.S. pennies) were bashed in a seam at the Col.

This picture just kicks ass, Hillary. I've got new wallpaper on my monitor. Many, many thanks to Hillary and Alex for their hospitality, friendship, and breakfast burritos. Note to self: Next time you go camping, remember to bring the damn fuel for the stove.

Epic Ed and Climbsomething and Climbingcowboy: Are you guys still planning on Watson Dells this weekend? I can sneak out on Sunday, but can't do the whole weekend, cause of other obligations on Saturday evening. Will drive up to Dells early Sunday, meet and climb, and make it back to PHX that night. If you're in, I'm in. And if anyone else wants to carpool, get in.

Hey I'm looking for a climbing partner. I live in Gilbert and was climbing every weekend. My partner quit so I haven't been climbing for 4 wks now. Let me know if your interested in climbing outdoors. I usually travel about 50-100 miles to climb so it takes a whole day off the weekend to climb, climb, climb. Linda p.s. I have a 4wd.

Hi. I'm new to the sight, but have lived in Prescott for about three years. I'm into bouldering and trad climbing and would love to meet some new people. I live at the camp I'm working at so the hostel thing is hard, but I have a buddy in town "basalt rocks" who may have an open couch. Drop me a line if you'll be in town and have wouldn't mind me tagging along. I may have to work alot this summer, but I'll definately want to get out when possible. Mike. Incentives for inviting me along: Full trad rack, Metolius Bohemith crashpad, knowledge of local area, wonderful smile, and shirts so ugly they can't help but make others look good...

Since we didn't have an AZ gathering this year, I'll throw this out there: Anyone interested in Flagstaff for Sept 22-24? I've got a rare weekend free, and thought it'd be nice to hit the Pit and/or Oak Creek Overlook before it gets too cold. Open to other ideas, too.... I'll bring the cast iron dutch oven and make a big pot of chili, if bribery will help.

reno, climbsomething, everybody else, I would be way amped to come down and climb that weekend in Flagstaff. I haven't climbed in that area for a while, and I'm now living in Moab, so a weekend trip to the Pit or the Forks would be pretty cool.

^^ Kick azz. Hil's evolving agenda: Saturday I am likely going to be among a mess of moving boxes and freaked out cats, but I am sure I can escape for at least Sunday, and edibles and drinkables on Saturday night (Reno, ever checked out the wine bar downtown? Y'all should). I'm also free Monday, and I am sure Alex will be too.

Reno's agenda: Arrive Flag on Thursday, early evening. Find a place to set up base camp, and commence to the beer consumption. Friday, climb. Friday evening, eat camp food and drink beer. There will be a 8 quart batch of camp chili cooked in the dutch oven over an open fire one of these nights. And if nobody else shows, then I'll eat all 8 quarts by my damn self. Hillary, you know how troublesome this idea can be. Saturday/Sunday: Repeat as necessary and able. I'm heading back to PHX on Sunday, as I have to work on Monday. Though, since I'll be working in Payson, I might just stay Sunday night and save 140+ miles of driving. We need a decent, easily found, easy to access place to camp. Ideas, anyone? Camhead: C'mon on down... you can rope gun for me, since I suck more than a $5 hooker on double coupon night.

Too bad I gotta work Friday and will be knee-deep in moving boxes Saturday-day. But you say "we," so you have a pard/traveling partner lined up? Otherwise you gotsta boulder for 2 days! :shock: or put on your sweetest "trawling for partners at the base" face... which won't get you very far if you indulge in the chili the night before. So yeah, about that chili, hold off til Saturday, and A and I will come down that night (we'll even bring a big hunk of cheese to add to it). JUST DO NOT EAT IT ALL YOURSELF. I don't wanna write the lead story the next day about the Phoenix man who felled a stand of century-old Ponderosas, turned the Lake Mary trout belly up, and ignited a brush fire with his toxic ass. Maybe you can camp at Fay Canyon? Paradise Forks? Priest Draw? There is SO much FS land here but I don't know the ins and outs yet. Hope a "real" local can clue ya in there ;)

Sweet, I'm there. Sport, trad, whatever, would be cool. There is decent free camping near Paradise Forks, or if we want to be nearer town and the "scene," there are plenty of spots around Priest's Draw as well. And if Reno is doing chili, I'll do sourdough biscuits!

Sure.... been a while since we climbed, Sean. JT, almost 2 years ago, IIRC. C'mon over. You know how to get here? And we need a camping spot, someone. I can offer a suggestion, but it's not really conducive to a group of more than, oh, 3 tents.

In reply to: yup, Feltonian Physics that turned out to be Prepackaged... like oops Still, it was a nice climb. And most adventures start out with some variation of "ooops."
In reply to: and yes, i need directions. haven't climbed in AZ yet. been wanting to. i have Bloom's Castles in the Sand that covers Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. recently tracked down a copy of the Paradise Forks guide too. lovely cracks Two options, and you can pick depending on which interstate is easier for you to get to: I-10 East to Phoenix, then I-17 north to Flagstaff. I-40 East past Vegas to Flag. I'll wait another couple days, see if anyone has a camp site idea... then we'll post up directions to that. If nobody offers a campsite by, oh, Thursday, I'll pick one and put the directions here. That seem fair? So far: Climbsomething (and probably Tucsonalex) Camhead Reno Baja-Java gripfiender Anyone else?

I'm in for one day -- probably Saturday. Camping -- if we're climbing at the Overlook, there is some really nice open dispersed camping right there. One spot is the gated forest road directly opposite the entrance to the Overlook. If the gate is open, then camping is allowed. This area gets a fair amount of traffic from drunken Mexicans, and I've camped there when the mariachi music has been loud and completely intolerable. On the plus side, it's very easy to find. My favorite spot is just north of the Overlook just above the ADOT yard off to the east side of 89A. It's the first (I think) gated forest road on the east side of 89A above the ADOt yard. The gate is usually closed, but unless its LOCKED you are allowed to open up and drive in to camp. The road quickly gets to a very open area that could accomodate a lot of knuckle-draggers. If that area looks busy, just keep driving further back. Last time I was there the dirt road was easily passable by 2WD, low clearance vehicles at least to the first open area. There's only one rutted area beyond that that may keep low clearance vehicles from going all the way back to the rim. There are no facilities at either area, but the second option is usually extremely private and secluded. A big bonus is it's just down the road from Flagstaff proper. Much closer than the camping at the Forks. Ed

I like this idea.... close to Oak Creek, close enough to the Pit and Priest Draw, and easy access to the interstate for those wanting to hit the Forks. Shouldn't be too hard for folks to find, too. Everyone want to vote yea or nay? And for redlegrangerone: There will indeed be cracks climbed. Forks, of course, but there are good crack systems at Oak Creek. Come on up. Bring beer. Lastly: I've got space to share a ride from PHX. I'll have my dog, but she rides in the back seat. I was going to leave Thursday evening, but I'm flexible on that, too.

Being of the non beer drinking persuasion, what is the preferred beer for climbing cracks? :lol:

Here's another one from this weekend: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=78406 I would like to point out that our fearless leader doesn't have anything in for the first 50 feet or so. I'm not sure if this is by choice or necessity, but either way... yeesh. I am SO STOKED to hear there will be some Overlook crankin'. It's just so much *friendlier* than the Forks, if you're delicate like me. Can we get an agenda of sorts going? I want to know who's gonna be where when... this is vital info for climbsnothing's photo-graffin' services. Is anybody thinking of the Draw or other pebbly places on Saturday, perhaps later in the day?

sweet! I'll be down for doing cracks until tuesday or wednesday. probably stick around the city and do bouldering or spurt climbing for the weekend, and I've NEVER been to the Overlook. And the preferred beer for crack climbing is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, in my opinion.

Mine: Thursday: arrive in the evening, set up camp, mebbe join you and Alex in Flag for a burger and a pitcher of beer, if you're free. Friday: Climb, either at the Pit or the Forks, depending on who I can find for a partner and what they want to do. Saturday: Overlook, then back to camp to make chili. Dinner around 8 pm, for those that care. Sunday: Overlook or Pit, then pack up and head back to PHX, leaving around 7 pm (have to work Monday, at that means waking up at 4 am.)

Hello there Arizonians! My name is Marc and I am about to head out to Prescott via Flagstaff. If anyone is looking for a partner or psyched to add someone new to their group, please holler at me! I can be reached at 928-899-7388 all night (Ill be driving all night and don't hesitate to call at any hour). I will be passing through flagstaff tomorrow (Thurs 9/14) and I'd be happy to stop and climb at Paradise Forks if I hear form someone. I currently don't have a crash pad with me, but I do have trad rack and ropes (never leave home without them). If someone is interested in climbing in the Prescott area you can either call me at the above number, leave me a message on this forum or send me an IM. I'm still relatively new to this website -- but I think that I've got it figured out. Happy climbing everyone!! -Marc Horan

In reply to: hey reno, I'll arrive thursday night as well; we should definitely hit 'da forks on friday. OK. I think Baja Java will be in town Friday as well. Right, Sean? Want to meet Paul and I at the Forks on Friday?
In reply to: where are you camping that night? or should we just meet up for food in Flagstaff that night and head from there? Don't matter to me. I doubt that next weekend will be a busy camping weekend, but I thought I'd find that camping area that Epic Ed mentioned and stake claim for the group. What's the name of that burger and beer joint in Flag, right beside the RR tracks? We could meet there? Or in camp.... I'll either be driving a maroon GMC Yukon (with "Air Evac" sticker in back window) or my black Dodge Intrepid (with a "Dog is my co-pilot" bumper sticker.) Your call.

OK, since nobody cast a vote either way, I'm exerting my powers as benevolent dictator and making the choice: We're camping where Epic_Ed suggested on the previous page:
In reply to: My favorite spot is just north of the Overlook just above the ADOT yard off to the east side of 89A. It's the first (I think) gated forest road on the east side of 89A above the ADOt yard. The gate is usually closed, but unless its LOCKED you are allowed to open up and drive in to camp. The road quickly gets to a very open area that could accomodate a lot of knuckle-draggers. If that area looks busy, just keep driving further back. Last time I was there the dirt road was easily passable by 2WD, low clearance vehicles at least to the first open area. There's only one rutted area beyond that that may keep low clearance vehicles from going all the way back to the rim. IF it is locked, then I suggest we camp by Priest Draw. Everyone know where that is? I don't, but will find out. That is all for now. Five days, y'all.

i'll get there THU eve too. let's do dinner in town. i'd be for that. and yes, Forks on FRI sounds very good! and i'm leaning toward just MON at the Forks, paul. that'd make 4 straight climbing days for me, without having to bother with a rest day or shower or all that other stuff sean

Hell yes! I'm leaving tomorrow morning from Moab, going to stop by the Creek for a day. I'll give reno a call when I roll into town on thursday, and also go try to locate this alleged campsite. Oh, and reno, Priest's draw is a big area, with several pulloffs from the highway, so we may have to work out some more details.

Dinner on Thursday? Give me a call. Reno, I'll PM you my new phone #. It's cool enough now that b.o. might be slow to develop, but if I declare anybody in need of a bath, I can certainly provide a shower. Oh, and if it rains enough at night to scare you off the dirt pile, some more hospitality can be wrenched from me. Just know that my house is in utter chaos right now. Reno, you got a new truck? Did your wife let you have at least one nut back? :D *presses nose against Overlook guide and begins humming and chanting*

In reply to: Reno, you got a new truck? Did your wife let you have at least one nut back? Mais non, cher. I might be able to talk her out of her GMC Yukon, if'n I ask real purty like and bring her some flowers and chocolate. 'Else it's the sedan. (Geez, I'm so neutered, it ain't funny.)

Patio = COLD SO SO COLD (my blood is still Tucson-thin). Just don't laugh at me in my down and beanie and gloves in the cruel 50 degrees. And alas, I don't have my Tilly right now. Mom's dogsitting while we move and do some minor repairs to the house and such... the disruption and open gates and doors would be too much for the little booger. But this is all the more reason for you to bring at least one husky. I need white hairs on my clothes!

Hey yall, looking to get out to the overlook tomorrow morning, need a partner, prefereably one that can clean anything i get on, and or take over lead if I get stuck. I am fairly new to the trad climbing realm, have 5 leads under my belt, thus far. I am hoping to get on Orange out Direct, which would be the hardest lead that I have done. Anyways, get back to me here, or gimme a call 928-713-1352. lata

haha! Well, here's what I think I know, at least as far as the reno-camhead-baja_java-epic_ed-climbsnothing clan: I think today (Friday) is the Forks. Tomorrow (Saturday) I am not sure, but possibly the Pit, and that night we will be eating Reno's camp chili. Sunday is the Overlook. Blame me for that, because I demanded a ropegun for the Trinities and I can't climb on Saturday ;) Monday looks like it might hold something in store too, but I am not sure what. Reno and Ed won't be around, but camhead and baja_java should be. I defer to them and their projects; baja_java sounded interested in the Forks then, and I am sure camhead is down with that. But if they let me I might make them ropegun at the Pit or boulder at the Anvils in Sedona, cuz I'm demanding and stuff. Course, I love me some columnar basalt photos, and Paul and Sean are new and exciting (and cute! :oops:) models. *reminds self to clear memory cards for photo spazzing*

I had fun, guys. A nice and relaxing Saturday. Sorry about the Rotties-on-meth. I have no idea why they were so wound up. Paul, Cap'n tells me he's very disappointed that you wouldn't twaddle with his leather cherrio. I know, I know...the smell of dog sphincter and a fresh bowl of chili just don't mix. I apologize profusely. Other than that, it was great to finally meet Baja Java and the imfamous Camhead. Reno, good eatin. That was an excellent meal topped off with a nice stogie -- not much more a man can ask for around a campfire. Thanks for puttin up with us. We'll have to do it again some time soon. I'll even join you for the climbing next time. Promise. Ed

In reply to: I had fun, guys. A nice and relaxing Saturday. Sorry about the Rotties-on-meth. I have no idea why they were so wound up. No need to apologize for the dogs, Ed. I actually prefer to see dogs that are active, running and playing, and havingt fun rather than dogs that are just lumps of breathing fur. :)
In reply to: Reno, good eatin. That was an excellent meal topped off with a nice stogie -- not much more a man can ask for around a campfire. T'was my pleasure to make the chili. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and while I certainly regretted eating that 3rd bowl the next morning, it sure did fill my belly. Thanks to you for the Partagas. Smooth stogie, bud.
In reply to: We'll have to do it again some time soon. I'll even join you for the climbing next time. Promise. I'm going to hold you to that! Baja_java and Camhead: Thanks for being the rope guns, being patient as I did my best impression of a cow on roller skates, and for all the campfire chat. His Royal Highness, Emporer Sean, I'll see ya in a few weeks for JT rock. Camhead, we're doing the Kor-Ingalls in December. Good times.

CAMHEAD GOT NEKKID AT MY HOUSE!!!!!! As did baja_java. Heehee. Told you I'd post that. No, tequila was not involved. I was just letting a couple weary travelers use my shower. The only being to witness the skin shows was our tortoise George, who is temporarily living in the bathroom while we get his terrarium set up, but he's half-blind and not much of a talker. Anyway, good times were had by all. Here's a few more pics (I wish I had more): http://i59.photobucket.com/...ok92406/IMGP9811.jpg More of Left Trinity. http://i59.photobucket.com/...ok92406/IMGP9741.jpg One of reno's dogs. http://i59.photobucket.com/...aw92506/IMGP9914.jpg baja_java on a V2 or V3 at the Draw. http://i59.photobucket.com/...aw92506/IMGP9921.jpg camhead on a V5 (?) at the Draw. I believe this is the very moment where Paul's cooter failed him. He sent anyway. We also ran into Jules, who lives in Flag. She and Paul worked this V5 thing. I don't remember who sent :oops: http://i59.photobucket.com/...aw92506/IMGP9940.jpg Oh, and here's my cat getting lit on catnip. Why? Just because he's cute. http://i59.photobucket.com/.../Pets/zeetree1-1.jpg Next weekend, I dunno. Jacks? I haven't clipped a bolt in a while, and after my high-gravity stab at Middle Trinity, I could use the ego boost, and 'sides, it's my birthday ;)

nice photos, hillary! and hey, you did good, jeff, what with the adventure route-finding on that one lead at the Overlook. good job! and thanks again for climbing with me, and for the good company, everyone. whatever you say about the plasty house, hillary, alex, the hot shower is beautiful. all that exquisite hot water. the perfectly tilted showerhead. the excellent hues of white and off-white all around. i've never ever seen better. comes with a bathroom-mate turtle even! the Forks, what a beautiful little canyon, with all those pretty cracks, those badass cracks. the full-blown all-out climbing was great, paul. trad, sport, bouldering, off-roads vehicle testing, wood chopping, hole digging on account of that good chili, haha, everything that does a climbing body good. hey, my hands got destroyed the worst by the bouldering yesterday. does that mean bouldering is actually more badass than sport? or even trad?? hmmmmmmmm! like, shudder!! yeah, JTree in a few weeks, and if anyone else like to also, the more the funner. and the Creek too. might join you guys out there. again, very nice to meet everyone, and the furry ones, and the hard-shelled one. see you all out on the rocks again soon sean PS there's some talk of Tahquitz for this weekend. finally checking out NJC would be cool too. will know for sure in couple days

Hey Evra-biddy! I had a great time climbing with y'all. Reno is a better chili chef than I had ever expected, BajaJava is a kickass solid traddie, Alex kicksass except for that aversion to IPA's, and Climbsomething IS as HotTTTT as rumored.

Those photo's of the Trinity's are amazing. I haven't gotten the chance to see them from above the ground, we had to down climb, and bail out, due to the time(about to get locked in the gate). I suppose that's what we get for being out there from 10 in the morning to 430. I would totally love to be belay slave, for an afternoon, and try my luck on those gorgeous lines. If anyone needs a belay slave at the overlook, let me know. I can also lead up to about a 9+ fairly comfortably, and would be happy to set up a line or two, myself.

In reply to: we had to down climb, and bail out, due to the time(about to get locked in the gate). I suppose that's what we get for being out there from 10 in the morning to 430. Just so you know, if you're late getting out of the Overlook, you can still get through the gate. Sunday, we were out of there around 5:30p, and the exit gate is closed, but not locked. Reach underneath the post, and the padlock should still be open. Swing the gate free, drive through, and close it behind you. If you're the last car through, lock the padlock. These were the instructions on a post-it note on my car by the park ranger, anyway. Worked fine on Sunday.

I am looking forward to getting spanked by those cracks, haven't been able to get on them, yet. i suppose it might help if I was leading anything above a 9+, then again, I just started leading trad, period:-p. Thanks for the hook up Climbsomething, looking forward to meeting up with you on Monday. I'm gonna pm you my cell phone number, so we can work out the logistics. Talk to ya soon.

In reply to: such warm and loving welcomes im overwelmd.. pshhhhhhh man i cant even get negative attention in here.. :C Yeah, sometimes its hard to get into the group who already know each other, but I apologize for not being more welcoming to a couple of you new guys who have posted. It's not intentional -- I just really haven't climbed much in the last year and have bloated way out of shape, so I'm really not comfortable showing anyone the ropes at this point. I used to invite n00bs along any time I was heading out to climb (which was every weekend) but it's not an option for me at this point. My apologies, and a belated "welcome". There are plenty of good folks around these parts to hook up with to climb -- keep posting up and as people get more familiar with you, you're bound to make plans with someone eventually. Ed

i didn't know anyone either except climbing once before with reno. i just showed up where some people said they'd be and lo and behold, they were there. there were stuff you had to do though, to be allowed to climb. first i had to start smoking. then this girl stomped on a turtle and broke open its shell and said i had to eat the meat, like raw. someone also demanded i renounce the full body flavor of IPA. that was when couple others said, hey, that's not what they signed up for! then a fight broke out. it was horrible. consider yourself lucky!!

see, normally you are correct about virgins. Unfortunatly for you, rock gods are a different breed, virgins aren't a particualr bother to them. They have all decided that the clinging that occurs because of the virginity just isn't worth the actuall virgin itself. And if you are looking for a partner, I'd totally be down, what are ya interested in, mainly? Bouldering, sport? let me know what you would be interseted in going to do, and when. Lata bro.

mostly i wanna do sport, i dont have the quickdraws yet but basicly everything else. thing is i havent done lead climbing yet, even in the gym.. im basicly im transition from gym to rock.. bouldering for me sux still cause i havent built up that forearm strength yet. i boulder every now and then at the gym i goto but not often. i know im a noob,, hmm does that make me a virgin climber? lol now the good news :D i climb about 5.10 maybe a low 5.11 in the gym. i am very passionate about climbing and always as safe as i know how to be. but yeah if ya still wanna go climbing im always up for it hit me up and we'll work out the details..

hehe, i suppose that DOES make you a virgin, which might have just saved your life. Lucky you. Can't be giving the rock gods virgins, fast way to end up on the injured list. As for leading, that part comes with time, tis no worries. Indoor ratings and outdoor ratings are quite different, I find that sometimes tis a bit difficult to transfer the indoor rating to outdoor. I'd totally be down for a pit run, this weekend, if you are interested. I can totally lead it up for ya. Or we could go down to the Overlook, which is trad, but has some more moderate routes there, if you feel like breaking in kinda slowly. I take my wife down there, and she doesn't really climb much at all. She does quite well considering that she's been out 5-6 times. tis up to you. hit me a pm with your phone number in it and we'll work somethign out. -Will

Hey guys/gals i just moved to the sierra vista area and am currently rehabbing a wrist injury. I came here by myself and haven't met any other climbers yet. My question is if anyone would be willing to meet up in a couple weeks when i'm strong enough to partner up and show me some stuff in the area (cochise, tucson, anywhere), I have about two years experience and some trad gear. PM me and let me know. thanks all zack

Hello everyone, just wondering if there are more slackers like myself out there who have off from work/school on monday(16th) and would be interested in spending the day climbing. I'm located in the Flagstaff area and don't mind traveling up to an hour away. This leaves many possiblites ( sedona, forks, overlook, granite mtn, winslow wall, jacks, you get the point) Anyways, pm me or email me if you think this could work. Take care- -Jason jasonwfunk@gmail.com P.S. Always looking for partners for Mondays and Fridays

AT hairpin the monsoon season shifted a ton of rock around and in the process may have opened up a new boulding spot. Nothing really exciting but i noticed it on my way out and decided to have a go at it. A couple of easy fun problems. I may guess it may have already been discovered but i didnt see any chalk on it. So I wont add it to the new route list for it has no name. I will try and take some more pictures of its location tomorrow so others can let me know if it has been used. Or if its worth adding as a spot to boulder.

Anyone up for getting out this friday 27th? Can travel up to 1.5 hours from Flag, and up for pretty much any type of climbing. Top rope soloing is starting to lose its appeal, so if you'd like to squeeze out of work and join me, don't hesitate to drop a line - Jason

I'm looking for someone who wants to climb Granite Mountain on Saturday October 28. I'm looking to do a 5.8 or 5.9 at Swamp Slabs. I have all the gear and will gladly lead all day. I just need someone to second it. I'm coming into Phoenix from central CA on Friday for the weekend and will gladly drive to Prescott. Anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of some good multi pitch sport climbs around Phoenix (within an hour). I am leading 5.7 area and really don't have much trad gear so I'm finding my choices are kinda limited. Alot of the routes that I'm seeing only have a couple of bolts and so I'm assuming that others are supplementing with trad pro or are you guys really only clipping a couple times? I'm fairly new to the area and spent the summer climbing in N. AZ so this is new territory for me.

Holy crap, there are a lot of single climbers out there looking for partners! Well, let me throw my hat into the ring and see who's willing to play: Short version: I'll be free to climb from around 11/10 - 11/12. Will be staying in the Phoenix area, but will have a rental car, and can drive wherever. About me: Climbing about eight years. Comfortable leading to ~ 5.10- trad (up to 5.11 if they're splitters), 5.11+ sport, V4 bouldering, and easy aid. Done some harder stuff, but what's listed up there is what I feel I can realistically do pretty consistently. Please PM me if you're interested. I'd even be happy to play any role from thankful noob for a stronger climber, to rope-gun for a less experienced climber... or anything in between. No big ego, but I'm reasonably strong, very competent, and just want to get out and climb! Check out my profile or PM me if you have any other questions. Oh, and the first drink's on me! Gabe

What did I say, GO? FLAGSTAFF. I mean, bouldering at Oak Flat with Curt is its own Very Special Experience (and I recommend it if you can't leave the Valley) but we have us some sweet columnar basalt (and reasonable Mexican food) that's really worth the drive. You know you want to. And I'll take your photo! You don't have a big ego but I can fix that 8-) (hint: come up on Sunday- maybe use Saturday to boulder with Curt)

My wife and I (30s) are newbies in the Mesa area looking for others to sport climb with. Definitely flake-free: I get enough of that in the music world!. We have rope, harnesses, etc. - no quickdraws yet but working on growing the gear rack. Our schedule is pretty flexible so many weekdays (and weekends, of course) work out well. Also, we're big into trail ATVing (considerately!!!!), so 4wd approaches would be especially fun for us.

I though this might fit better in here than in the Events and gatherings forum... First annual Prescott Climbing Festival November 17,18,19 Location, Prescott Az and surrounding areas. Friday events: Slideshow presentation by Scott Baxter Technical climbing clinic #1 Live music, food, and dyno & slackline comps. Saturday: ABS Bouldering comp at YMCA climbing wall Adopt a crag day at Groom Creek, lunch provided Shoe demos and climbing at Groom Creek Technical Clinic #2 Party and Fundraiser at Coyote Joes Bar and Grill (over 21 after 8:00) Sunday: Pancake Breakfast Climb at Promised Lands Technical Climbing Clinic #3 Should be a good time, and you can come for all, or any portion of the weekend. Questions should be directed to either Amylee: athornhill@prescott.edu or Conner Eldridge: celderidge@prescott.edu (530) 848-8463 Or you can pm me to see if I have any clue as to what's going on... (not likely)

Outdoor stuff like the clinics, crag day, and climbing at Promised lands I beleive are free, but the ABS comp and other stuff held at the YMCA I think will have a small fee. (mostly to pay for food and/or facilities.) Connor would know for sure, and so would Amylee. The Y had a fund raiser a few weeks ago to raise money for this event, so I beleive that most of the stuff is gonna be free, or donation. Y'all should com'on down, y'hear!?

In reply to: I'm going to be around phoenix for the week, from nov 29-december 6th. if anyone could recommend good crags (are there any sport crags nearby?) or gyms, or if anyone is interested in climbing anytime during those days, that would be great. Queen Creek (east of town) seems to be a favorite, but there's climbing closer to town as well. Camelback is very centrally located, as is Lookout Mtn. There's actually quite a bit in addtion to those. Phoenix Rock Gym is pretty well known in the region: http://PhoenixRockGym.com My wife and I are going to be taking their lead climbing class around the time you'll be out here, so maybe we can meet up...

I would check out Queen Creek. Lots of bouldering and good sport routes. REI (in Tempe) sells some little paper guides to this area for a couple of bucks.

The guy that writes those guides runs the gear shop in the rock gym. (He has pretty fair prices too.)

I'm looking for climbing partners. I'm rusty but still good to lead 5.8, maybe 5.9, and follow 5.10a-b, all sport stuff. As the rust gets shined off I'll get back to leading 5.10b-c. I'm in Phoenix. My schedule is messed up but I'm available both weekends and weekdays. David IDWNSHFT@juno.com

I'm going to be in Sedona Dec. 17 - Dec. 24. I really want to do some climbing while there. If anyone wants to meet up in Sedona or Flagstaff, let me know. I can lead 10b/c sport and follow a grade or two higher. Can follow trad to about 10a/b. If anyone wants to do the leading on some trad routes I have no problems following. Thanks, Sean

Hey, I'm visiting family in Phoenix over the holidays. I'd really like to get out and climb Thursday and/or Friday the 21st, 22nd. I haven't done much climbing in the area, I know Queen Creek is a good sport spot not too far away? My lead limit is about 5.10 trad, 5.11 sport. Hope to hear from somebody!

I'm going to be in Phoenix area starting New Years 07 weekend for 10 days or so. I want to climb out at the Homestead, El Cap Canyon Or the Coliseum. I can pull fairly hard for a old dude (49) and I can get the Draws up on just about anything. Let me know so I don't have to set New Routes by myself! Thanks

I just moved to Phoenix and don't know anyone here at all. I'd like to meet some climbers, obviously, and go climbing. I can climb in the 5.8/5.9 area. I have some experience leading sport and following trad. I'm almost always willing to go climbing. Also, you must be safe. I'm available the next few weekends, and afternoons during the week. after that my schedule gets funny, but I will be available.

Brand new to climbing and looking to get outdoors in a bit. I want to go to the indoor gym a few more times before I get out but if anyone is willing to take a noob out and help me along that would be great. I should have a harness, shoes, and rope in a couple of weeks. Ill be getting more gear as soon as I learn what I need and what its for.

Hey, I'm thinking of coming to Phoenix this next week. I'll have 4-5 days free to do some climbing. I've heard Granite mountain is good, or Cochise Stronghold. I'm thinking trad because of a finger injury, but I'm not too picky. I"ll want to lead stuff up to .10, .10+ or so, but again, not too picky. Let me know if you're interested in a trip or a day, so I can make some plans. Thanks!

Atlantis is just east of the town of Superior, and it can be anywhere from 5-10 degrees colder there than downtown PHX. Also, it's mostly shaded, as it's a northerly facing cliff, so you won't get the benefit of sun. Doable? Sure. Bring a fleece, beanie, and a thermos of coffee.

Ready to move outdoors from the Rock Gym? I'm looking for an outdoor rock climbing partner. (I'm in Mesa, but don't mind driving.) I'm not a totally stellar climber yet, but getting better rapidly so if someone in the beginning/intermediate range might be interested I have have gear etc. I'm looking to start with sport routes but getting more and more interested in trad. Please feel free to message me.

Anyone free during the week Feb 12 -16 for climbing Phx area? I'm here while my husband is working, want to get out there! I've been to the Pond, that's it, interested in going back or checking out some new places (sport or trad). I'm a fledgling leader, mostly follow now, looking to improve both leading and difficulty. Shoot me a PM! Elyse :)

I just moved to Tucson and I'm in need of some climbing partners. I climb around 5.8 so I'm not your partner if you're out to just crank up tough stuff. I have experience following trad/multi-pitch and I have led some sport climbs. My availability is really good, and I'm always willing to go out.

Sorry for the double post posted in wrong spot first time Lake Havasu City Here. This is my first post as I just signed up today. I would like to find some rock-climber’s that are willing to help a newbie learn the tricks and safety of the rock-climbing. I have done a little uneducated rappelling in the past but have never climbed other then indoor crap houses. I love nature and would love to join some well educated climbers that could help me learn how. I love to rappel but am willing to give climbing a shot. I am 31 and very kind would be willing to drive a couple of hours at most. Let me know.

howdy doody, az kids. i've not posted on rc.com since not too long after the big changeover... anyway, i am/was a regular on the (co) front range thread, until we migrated to another website during the changeover drama. my parents live in phoenix, and i'll be visiting them in the middle of june. i'd love to take my nephew climbing outside, but i don't know the area very well at all. i'd be looking for some easy (5.6 and under) topropes, the tops/anchors i can access easily. preferrably something with either sport anchors, or tree/boulder anchors, so's i don't have to schlep a whole rack down there just for one climb with a 6 year old. if someone's got some suggestions, i'd be mighty obliged, and would gladly return the favor by running some colorado beer down to phx on my way...and no, coors does not count as colorado beer. or if someone could suggest a decent toprope guidebook, that'd be awesome as well. i've got the falcon "Climbing arizona" book, but i don't want to look thru the entire thing. pm me or post here, i'll be checking from here until travel time. thanks. josh.

Josh: Check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/...180536499&sr=8-3 It's available at the Phoenix REI stores, so you should, if you wanted to, buy it through your local REI. BTW, you do know that June is pretty hot here. Best bet might be a long day and going to Flag. Oak Creek Overlook has a few 5.easy routes, and TR set ups only require a LONG stretch of webbing (50 feet or so) and biners.

hey reno, thanks! i looked at the one az book i have, the falcon climbing arizona one, and the first few climbs listed look perfect, weather/sun issues aside. i don't have it with me right now, as i'm at work, but there's a few listed as downclimbs/scrambles on camelback mtn, which lead up to the second tier of cliffs, with one or two of the harder lower routes having anchors we could rappel off of. my nephew has some developmental issues in regards to balance and coordination, so i'm thinking these might be perfect. he also gets pretty tired pretty quickly, so we might just go out early, and get in one route, then rappel. i would be able to borrow a car, but a full on day trip might be out, since time is so limited, and we'd not be into doing a full day of climbing anyway. i'll look into that weekend book, that looks perfect for the amount of stuff i'd be doing while down there. and if anyone has any feedback on the easy camelback mtn stuff, i'm all ears. thanks again. josh.

Hey everyone, I'll be in Sedona around June 14-18 (Thurs-Mon) and would love to get in some climbing. Ive been to Sedona a bunch of times but haven't done as much climbing as I'd like. I can lead sport to 10b but would like to follow someone up trad routes around Sedona. I have my own car and will bring rope, harness, and draws.

Josh, you absolutely do not, under any circumstances, want to climb at Camelback Mountain. First of all, because it will be hotter than f*ck (yesterday it was 108 here at midday and still 91 at 8:30pm, got me?) and secondly, because Camelback is choss and SUCKS A$$!! If your nephew has balance and coordination problems, you also want to avoid Camelback because the whole friggin' mountain is a pile of choss, including general approaching and descending....FOR INSTANCE, a couple years ago I managed to slip and fall on a portion of the walk off (despite trying to be OH-so-careful with my footing), simultaneously driving my left hand so hard into a volcanic rock I was using for balance that I should have gotten stitches in my thumb! (I will not go into the degree of pain and nausea experienced directly afterward, nor the rubber glove I had to wear for like A WEEK every time I showered so as not to disintegrate the bandages all over my hand.) THEN, against my better judgment, I took a partner there in February because "it was close and convenient" and I ended up pulling off a GIANORMOUS friggin hold on lead which crashed into my lower leg (along with part of the wall), causing a knot of scar tissue and a large scar that persists to this day, as well launching a small avalanche down the gully below us into a free fall off the cliff to god-knows-where in the process. Basically, my friend, Camelback is PETRIFIED MUD. I'M BEING SERIOUS. If a full day trip is not an option for you, I cannot think of any truly suitable place to climb locally at this time of year unless you can get out about 5 am, stay in shade all day, and beat a retreat by around 11 am. I can't think of anywhere except Queen Creek Mine Area that this doable, and QC will be about a 1 hour drive each way. Closer places like Little Granite Mountain or McDowells are mainly trad lines, will involve longer approaches, harder climbs, less likelihood of multiple easy lines on a single crag in the shade, etc. Sorry bro.

I'm looking for a partner or 2 in the Tucson area who wants to climb somewhat regularly; at least once a week. I have very high availability and transportation. I climb 5.8/5.9, the odd 5.10 on a top rope. I'm willing to do some travelling around the state once we get tuned in to do some multi-pitch or backcountry routes.

So, I'm planning to be in the Phoenix area either July 14th or July 21st (leaning more towards the 21st). Anybody down for a day of some climbing at Petit Verdon, or maybe Mt. Lemmon or whatever isn't completely burned to a crisp? I'm coming off of injury (wary of tweaky pockets, etc.) but I have been consistent in the 10-11 level for sport, and 5.9 trad. I appreciate it. In return, if you need a place to crash I've got a couch bed in CA just for you. Yosemite isn't too far away... Zach

I'm heading to Phoenix at the end of September (20th/21st) for a work conference and am hoping to climb whilst I'm there. Dates set aside for climbing are somewhat flexible (before or after the conference) as I haven't booked my flight. My partner may or may not join me so I'm looking for suggestions on guides/where to climb. I've been climbing for a few years, new-ish leader (sport 5.9/trad 5.7 depending on the day).

Haven't been about on rc.com much lately so missed any responses to my post (and no email alerts came my way). I'm in Phoenix from Wednesday to Sunday evening but really only have the Saturday and Sunday free (22/23 Sep). I'll have harness and shoes but am leaving the rest at home (well, ok, I'll bring my chalkbag so I can dip my fingertips in chalk to then wipe on my clothing). I'll be solo this trip as well. Hoping I can hook up with some people. Mountainman: glad you had a great time, our trips to Phoenix were out by a month. :) Cheers! gwyn

BTW, going to Oak Creek Overlook tomorrow (Sunday, 14 Oct). Should arrive around 11am (late start.... long story.) Black Dodge Intrepid, "Dog is my co-pilot" bumper sticker, and "5.9R WI5" license plate. Bring rack and rope. I've only got one set.

I'm no longer in Phoenix, which is a story in it's own right, although an upsetting one for me so I'll be keeping it to myself. I'm not sure I'll be back to phoenix as I found it a to be a weird and to inviting place. ...What's up with that "arizona on the rocks" gym.....holy worst/most unfriendly/ terrible employees, climbing gym I've EVER been too! But I did get some very good climbing in in Sedona. I also did some very good stuff in Isolation canyon and Queen Creek...thanks to my awesome guide Manny. So I'll defiantly consider those places again in the future. josh

Hey all, Vegas Climber looking to go south! Hey, I'm interested in doing some Northernly AZ climbing one of these weekends. I can follow just about anything and lead up to 5.9's (maybe a 5.10 on sport if I play on it enough). I own a "half trad rack", rope, and of course, a helmet! Let me know if anyone is up for a weekend of climbing.

Josh: I'll dig around a bit, see if I can find out some info for you regarding the photo radar ticket. I've always wondered, though, when drivers get one of those things: The ticket is issued to the registered owner of the car (via license plate tracking.) Can the cops prove that the owner was the person driving at that moment? IOW, could you argue "I loaned the car to my brother-in-law, and wasn't driving it that day" and get out of the ticket? Anyway, lemme dig around. Where, exactly, did you get the ticket? I assume Loop 101, somewhere around Scottsdale?

Yep 101 in Scottsdale. They take a picture of your face...that's how they try to prove it's you. I figured out that i don't have to pay unless they serve me...since I live in Colorado all I have to due is not sign for registared mail for the next few months and I'll be golden.

To the person who installed the rap anchors and webbing atop Hanging Gardens on Gardner's Wall in the McDowell's: First, I'd like to commend you for using 1" webbing, single piece rap rings, and neatly dressing the water knot. But do ya think that maybe you could set it up so it's not an equalized version of the American Death Triangle? Had any part of that webbing been cut, the entire anchor would have failed. I took it apart, retied one leg with that webbing, and added some 7mm cord (with a triple Fisherman's knot) to the other leg. This is the third time I've had to do this on the same anchors. That is all.

I'm going to be visiting my folks (who live in "God's Waiting Room, i.e., Phoenix Arizona) over Christmas and I'm looking for a sport climbing partner who'd be wiling to take me out somewhere near Phoenix for a day in late December. I can lead moderate 10's, follow easier 11's.

Hey, I'm going to be in Phoenix for next weekend, I'd really like to escape for a day. Queen Creek seems like the most simple/highest quality day out, but I'd be up for anything good. I could probably get away Fri, Sat or Sun. I like to climb up to .12- sport. Trad, probably 5.10 around Phoenix as I remember the grades being stiff from the little I've done there. Someone please get a hold of me, I'll really need a break from visiting my family! Thanks - Dave

I'd like a climbing partner who'd like to climb steadily every weekend. I'm up for doing local stuff and, if we're up for it, going on weekend excursions to check out some more interesting/prolonged climbs. I can lead trad up to 5.6 or so, 5.8 for sport and follow somewhat awkwardly on 5.10. I'm experienced doing multi-pitch and backcountry climbing. I don't whine and I usually have chocolate. I have a rope and all of my own gear. I lack in the lead gear department but I can make up for that in the future. I do have reliable transportation and I'm willing to drive half of the time, split fuel costs, &c. I'm up for climbing with most people, experienced or beginner, of either gender. If you are some hormone driven, adrenaline junkie military brickhead, you can move on because I will not climb with you. Safety is a priority with me, although I won't wuss out when the going gets spicy. Oh, and I'm located in the heart of Tucson, AZ.

We'll be camping at oak flats campground in queen creek the 9th through 11th and would love to have a climbing partner. I will have my gear if you just want to bring your basics (harness shoes helmet). My wife and kids(4 and 5 yr old) will also be up there so bring the family if you can. Just look for the excursion and travel trailer in the campground. Rusty 602-361-6876

I'm a safe climber looking for a partner for Sunday 18 NOV. I'll drive anywhere in AZ, but I prefer a climber of similar ability, 5.10 to 11-. Let me know if you're interested, I don't care if it's sport or trad.

I'm an NAU student visiting Family in Tucson from nov 20-25th for turkey day. I'd love to tag along with anyone hitting up Mt. Lemmon or other local areas. I'm a gym climber trying to make the transition to rock with some experience at jacks canyon and paradise forks. I climb roughly 5.9ish and have a rope and quickdraws.

Howdy, I live in Tucson. I am looking for partners for Wednesday-Friday every week. I like sport, trad, frontcountry or backcountry, and even bouldering. I am most comfortable on 9 to easy 11 and would love to get on harder stuff as well. For the most part I just want to get out and climb. Let me know. thanks, mike

I'll be in PHX 12/15-12/20 and looking to do some climbing, any climbing, it's all good. Any bouldering areas you can recommend? Anyone need a trad/sport partner for a day? I'm probably leading in the 8's or so these days. Safe climber, Wilderness EMT, buys beer. Tony.

Hey, I'll be visiting Sedona beginning the day after christmas and staying through new years, give or take a day or two. I've visited Sedona a dozen times but haven't climbed there enough. I'd prefer to follow someone on the local spires but want to climb sport too. I can lead sport to 10c/d, follow 11a. I'm really easy going and seem to get along with just about anyone and I'll buy the beer. Sean

Looking for anyone who likes to sport climb a lot around AZ. I go to Phoenix rock gym about 3 times a week and am forced to boulder since none of my friends share my passion for climbing rocks. I would like to get some trips out to queen creek or wherever really. If you climb regularly and are looking for a partner shoot me an e-mail.

Friend of mine coming into town, so we're heading to Mt. Lemmon on Sunday, will be there through Tuesday afternoon/evening. Probably camping at Prison Camp (mile marker 7, if memory serves.) Black Dodge Intrepid, license tags 59R WI5) and a yellow North Face Mountain 25 tent. I'm tall, thin, and will have my dog with me (black and tan, looks like a small German Shepherd.) Bring beer and firewood.

Where do Phoenixians climb in May? Looks like I'll be in Phoenix on a business trip the 2nd week of May, and would like to tack on some vacation time to climb if possible. I've been to Phoenix in March, and that was plenty hot, so I'm guessing May is brutal (especially to a New Yorker in the spring). Anywhere within a day's drive or less to climb some moderate stuff? Kathy

In reply to: Anywhere within a day's drive or less to climb some moderate stuff? Actually, there are quite a few options. Flagstaff has a good section of variety: Limestone pocket pulling and bolt clipping at Le Petit Verdon (a.k.a. "The Pit.) Oak Creek Overlook has single pitch basalt trad routes with very easy access. Both are ~ 2 hours from PHX, depending on where you are staying -- Phoenix is a huge metro area, slightly larger than Connecticut, at 9000 square miles. Paradise Forks would be a LONG day (wee bit of dirt road driving to get there, about 3 hours from PHX) but is some remarkable splitter crack stuff, though it can be somewhat stiff in the grades. Isolation Canyon has a nice blend of sport and gear routes, fairly easy access, and I feel the grades are spot-on accurate. About 2 hours. If you're looking for something closer, you can find tolerable climbs in the McDowell Mountains: Gardner's Wall faces north, and if you get out early and down by 2pm, it's not unbearable. I've heard that the Jacuzzi Spires are similar, but I've not been there so can't confirm. Tucson is another option, but again a bit longer of a drive (2 hours on the interstate, another hour through town and up Mt. Lemmon.) Year round climbing, though... if it's hot, just keep driving up the hill to elevation. It'll cool off sooner or later. Holler via PM if you want more info. I'll also be happy to show you around a bit, provided 1) I still live in PHX in May, and 2) I'm not working the day you want to climb. I've got rope and rack, the inside track on the best green chile cheeseburgers around, and I don't bite.

Headed to AZ and can climb from 5/2-5/7. Weather depending, I'll head to Flag/Prescott/Sedona area or south to Tucson area. Plan to have rental SUV. Will plan to camp out for most of the time. I hooked up my regular partner to go, but he's gotten really flaky all of a sudden within the past two months. I'm 90% confident he'll bail. If anyone (with some outdoor experience) is interested, PM me. Trad lead 5.8. Follow trad 5.10. Not worried about numbers, though. I just want to climb and enjoy being outside in the vertical realm for a couple of days (I'm from Kansas, you see). Full rack.

Anybody interested in climbing sometime in the dates listed here? I'm a safe climber, looking for anything from short sport to longer trad. I'm open for most Arizona areas - if it's far I'll drive up the night before. As one can see, I'm pretty flexible here, and I climb in the 5.10 to 11- range, depending on the rock. PM if interested.

When you are up in the flag area, drop me a line if you want (5-7th is the best since I am travelling for business before then ). I know most of the routes at Paradise Forks (since I've led them), know a bit around other places (like the Pit) but am alsways looking to get out climbing. Chuck 928-380-9388

Hey all, I'm in Prescott for two weeks starting next sunday (the 11th). I've been in law school, so WAAAAAY out of shape and practice, but I'd love to hit some of the rock to get back into it, especially around the Prescott and surroundings areas. I sport around 5.10 or so, and I'm willing to try something harder and definitely something easier - anything to get me back on the wall for a day or so. If any takers...... hit me up.

It seems I'm regularly looking for partners here, works a lot of the time. Anyways, looking for someone for the date listed here. I'm a safe climber, looking for anything from short sport to longer trad. I climb in the 5.10 to 11- range, depending on the rock. PM if interested. I am willing to drive to a lot of places.

New to Tucson, here, live right outside Catalina state park, was hoping to find someone famiiar with the area to go with. I am getting back into the swing of climbing, had a bit of a hiatus, with the winter being so snowy, in Flagstaff. Trying to build the muscle back, and get my lead head on, gain. I have a full rack, and would love to get out, anytime I am not working. (mostly nights). get back to me, and let's get on some rock.

Hi, I'm also new to Tucson, I used to climb in Colorado back in college, looking for partners for the weekends, I know it's hot as hell down here and high chance of monsoons, but I need to get out more. I climb sport, I've never had a chance to try trad. I'm available most weekends.

Hey all, Just moved to Flagstaff from Alaska for a few years and haven't climbed all summer but am psyched to be here and near so much great climbing. I like to climb with mellow people who push themselves and have fun. I trad climb and boulder, sometimes will sport climb too. I have tons of gear, cams, draws slings, aid, boulder pad etc. Im looking for adventure climbs and also just some fun bouldering. I want to get to Indian Creek alot this fall and winter as well and am up for just about any adventure. I have a car and am willing to do some driving. Basically im looking to plug in to the local crew and get climbing! Traveler Terpening www.travelerphotography.com 907 299 1119

That guide will give you a genral overview of arizona with nothin to detailed. It will leave out areas that are not ofter climbed but still gerat places though. It is a good book to have in general and is the only one for all of AZ. I don't use it too much I like to buy the guide book made for the place which will have all the climbs and most likely not be in the main AZ book. Or just wing it if you feel confident in going without a guide...knowing you might get on something above your level which I think is a good thing cause you usually end up climbing harder without the guide in the first place. Hope this helps. Eric

To my AZ climbing pals: I'm outta here. Moving back to Colorado in a couple weeks. November 13th, actually. It'd be great to get another chance to climb with everyone one more time, but I don't think that's possible... timing, logistics of moving, throwing in a few days of work here and there, and so forth. Thus, if anyone wants to get together for a beer, I'll be meeting some other friends at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Gilbert, at the corner of McQueen and Eliot, this Saturday (Nov 1) around 7pm. I reckon we'll be on the patio, but not certain. If y'all wanna come have a beer and some wings and share lies about peaks bagged and projects sent, please feel welcome. And y'all keep in touch, too. Holler if you make it up Denver-way. We'll climb. Always, -- Jeff/Reno

Hi all, I'm visiting my bro-in-law in Sedona from 5/4/09 - 18/4/09. I'm from the UK & don't know the area at all, except that there seems to be tons of climbing there, from what I can gather from the forum. Any chance of meeting up with some folks to climb? I'm easy - happy to boulder or do trad and/or sport routes. Hope to see you all!

Will be arriving Tucson Tuesday the 7th, still looking for midweek partners. Just want to have fun, nothing heavy. I've been climbing in Tucson since 1981, and it's always fantastic. Hope to get out some. All's well that ends well. Doyle PS: I had so much fun, and now it's 36 & fog in PA. Maybe I'll move back to Tucson. April is very nice there.

Hey guys, I just moved to Tempe from Ohio, and know essentially nobody here. I bouldered a lot in college, but I've been out of the game for over a year. I'm just looking for a few people to boulder with. My work schedule is kind of chaotic, so my availability is kind of random. But I'm looking to get out and climb as much as possible. Please email or call/text me if you're interested in meeting up. Thanks, Joe email: joesainato@gmail.com cell: 330.592.5962

I am going to be in Phoenix for work May 3-9. Anyone want to get out after work on the weekdays. Will belay/climb with any level. I climb sport 5.11, trad 5.10, boulder-try whatever looks fun. Happy to return the favor and show you around TN if you ever make it to the southeast. Not interested in gym partners.

Anybody want to do some sport or trad up near Flag this coming Sunday the 26th? I can only do a day trip but can camp out Saturday night to get an early start. I can generally climb 5.11 sport, 5.10 trad, but willing to follow harder.

Drew, I can only go from 7am to 12:30 on Sunday but I know the Forks well enough that we could probably get in 10-15routes in the time period. If you want to get out- cal me at 928-380-9388

Check out Sushifest in Indian Creek; if you like fish in the desert. It takes place just outside Monticello and you are sure to scare up some partners: http://supertopo.com/..._Creek_Monticello_UT If I don't head to Chihuahua, Mexico in november, I'll climb with ya. PM sent.

I have recently begun to seek enlightenment through climbing. I am looking for a zen like climbing guru to be the Mr Miyagi to my Daniel-san. I'm in the Prescott Area but I am willing to travel. I have harness, shoes, helmet, a few biners...working on rope and some pro. Will provide beer and/or manual labor in exchange for training. I am too much of a clueless newbie to have much opinion whether to become a trad or sport guy, so whatever you do...I will follow with a ferocious zeal until I know enough to disagree with you. I boulder my ass off, but I keep driving by Granite Mountain and looking at her with a lust deep in my heart and I need some real guidance and tutelage so I can have her. Thanks for your time.

Howdy guys and gals: I'm looking for climbing partners. I have the next few months off and want to make good use of my time. I'm down for whatever. I'm interested in Sedona area if not too cold/ wet; S. AZ; RedRocks, Jtree, SUtah, Zion if not too miserable and we're fast. Maybe a trip to Potrero Chico? I've got doubles of pretty much everything, a few ropes, and a dirtbag budget. If you have a tent it would be sweet because I have a bivy sack only. Also- I have a low clearance vehicle- it's a road tripping machine but I doubt it'll take too much off roading. or traffic for that matter. Let me know if you're interested or even just need a last minute belay because your buddy bailed on you for the nan. Or whatever. Peace out, have fun. Cameron copterwalker@gmail.com 480) 540-4508

Looks like my partner for Cochise is kinda falling through on me for this weekend--therefore, I am in desperate need of someone to come climb with me!!! I am also available this coming week for basically any destination (have a partner booked for days here and there). Next weekend I will be in Cochise again with friends but I think I might need a partner if I don't want to climb in a threesome, so that sounds like it is open too. Any takers???

Phoenix Area: January 13-15 Weather at Red Rock is turning and I'm willing to chase sunshine, looking for Phoenix area partner on above mentioned dates. I fly out on Saturday so Cochise is just a bit too far than I'm willing to drive (unless I meet you in Phoenix and you take the rest of the way). I hear Rincon Mountains and Queen Creek are nice places. I have 6 or 7 years of safe trad experience, I lead very well to 5.8 and occasionally onsight 5.11-. Check my profile & climbing log for experience and call (845) 389-9696 if you're interested. David L. Shawangunks, NY

i am coming down to Tucson for a trade show next week 1st - 8th, arriving monday and will be there till sunday. I will have to work a bit on a few days, mostly tuesday and well it is a little up in the air but i should have a good bit of time to get out. i am bringing a full rack, ropes etc. i have climbed 15 or so years, mostly a trad climber, but will do anything, coming off some down time from injuries and having moved to seattle for a while so i am not in top shape but up to 10ish trad should be fine for leading and i will follow harder etc. If you have an interest in trying to get out, or know of any people getting out i would be very interested. My email is livermore75@hotmail.com

I'm making a trip to Tucson and looking for a climbing partner between April 12-14. I don't know if I'll have my rack with me yet but definitely no rope. I'm happy to climb indoors or out, trad or sport. I've been hibernating in Scotland the last 6 months so I'll be happy just to see the sun again and/or feel a warm rock!

Looking to plug gear in Northern Arizona this Memorial Day Weekend and most of my climbing partners are travelling. Anyone up for the Forks, Waterfall, Winslow Wall, Sedona. I have more gear then anyone really needs. Willing to climb with anyone who is pretty low key. I am willing to lead anything up to mid 5.13 on gear though at that level I am projecting ( and I'm a total wimp on bolts) but if you want to pull 5.10's thats cool with me.

Have a subaru that I like to pretend is high clearance. 2 very nice dogs, you will probably like them more than me. Also looking for people to drive to Indian Creek or other good crack destinations.

Hey guys, looking for a climbing partner in the Phoenix area. Just the general area, doesn't need to necessarily be Phoenix exactly. I am currently getting back on track financially after a some tough job luck so I am hoping to find either someone who has a membership to a gym and is able to bring a free guest in with them or someone who goes outdoors that has extra gear that I would be able to use while I go out with them until I am able to afford my own. I realize this is asking a lot so I understand if there are no takers. I just recently caught the climbing bug again after going to a gym with a friend that unfortunately is out in Goodyear and have been going nuts just sitting at home reading about climbing instead of actually being out there doing it. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. Safe climbing!

Single female in Phoenix, AZ. Spend most of my time scuba diving, hiking and camping. I will need a bit of guidance throughout expeditions as Im just getting my feet wet. I have harness, shoes, belay, chalk bag and carabiner; as I didnt want to rent at the rock gym. Before I commit to tagging along, Ill need to know what additional gear Ill need to buy so Im not a burden to others. Skype: CallesCafe FB: Chris Calle EM: cc@academyofscuba.com

I'll be in queen creek canyon for the next several days, hoping to find a partner. I can lead sport in the 5.10 range, can follow most easier 11s. I'm also down to climb trad if you want, but I don't have a rack so you'll have to supply the gear. Give me a call at (707) 499 0532 -Jane

Hey, I am fairly new to the Prescott area and recently just dug out my shoes for some bouldering. I would like to get out and do more bouldering and climbing.

Hi all! I will be visiting a firend in Phoenix, AZ in the time from 11/20 to 11/28 for thanksgiving. So, there is plenty of time to go climbing. I will bring my sport climbing gear with me (rope, quickdraws, etc.). I am not familiar with trad climbing, but am very interested. Been climbing for over 5 years now, time to learn something new... So, if there is anybody who wants to partner up for a climbing trip or if there is a group I could join, just shoot me a PM. It would be very happy to hear from you! Cheers, Heiko (from Germany) PS: The grades of routes I feel comfortabel to lead climb in are 5.10 - 5.11ish

I'm on a climbing trip and currently in Moab, but the forecast is looking a bit wet and cold for the next week. I've heard there is some climbing in the Sedona area and I'm keen for any good weather and trad if you are!

I'm new to the area and like to climb multi-pitch trad. If you're still looking for partners, let me know.

I'm certainly keen on finding somebody to climb with while I'm in the area. I'm driving down for a visit to Summerside between April 1 - April 14. Happy to get out for whatever while I'm there. Unfortunately I don't know what I can bring in the way past essentials (i.e. I'm toying with the idea of trying to get my rope down there). Happy to meet up for a day, an afternoon - or even just an evening! Cory

Hi Paul, I am Thomas from Scottsdale. I live 15 minutes from Pinnacle Peak and 15 minutes from the McDowell mountains. I have climbed quite a bit, but not for a long time so I am just getting back into shape. I have some hardware, won't lead yet, but can follow 5.7. If you are interested, you can also find me on facebook: Thomas Loeff Thanks, Thomas

Well the weather is turning very nice here in northern AZ. I got out for the first time this weekend to groom creek and would like to start climbing on a regular basis. So anyone coming through Prescott, or in the area I'm game to climb or boulder any day I'm free.

I'm going to be in sierra vista the last week of april (as of about nowish), I'm pretty flexible on location/time, I'm looking for some fun people to go out climbing wtih (if climbing is a serious affair for you, we probably shouldn't climb together!) I don't do trad, so unless you can confidently lead about 5.8/9, I'd rather be doing some sport routes. I have a 60m rope, 6 draws (can get more, and any other essentials I might be missing). I'm down for trips that involve camping, and climb aroudn the 5.9/5.10 level. I can lead 5.9 for the most part, follow up to 5.10, 11 depending on rating/type of climb. Multipitch is cool too, but you'll have to bring most of the experience on that as I've only followed that once. I'm headed east via nm/tx, so anyone looking to climb there during early may, I'm interested as well. I might be off and on for internet service, so feel free to call at (240) 394-9264, or text/voicemail if i miss your call.

I lived in Flagstaff for about 2 years and I started climbing here, but then I ended up living in FL for about 4.5 years. Now that I'm back, all of my climbing friends have moved, and I have no one with whom I can climb. I'm more into the idea of bouldering right now, but, if you're ok with having a sport n00b (all I have is a rope) with you, I'd be down to get up on some sport routes. Also, I don't think this will be much of a problem in Flag, but I need 420-friendly climbing partners.

I am a 22 year old climber looking for a partner to climb in and around the phoenix area. I mostly top rope and sport. I can lead a 5.9 sport route and follow 5.10b. I have a full trad rack and a car and im willing to travel up to 2 hours from phoenix 4 weekend fun. I'm hoping to find a mentor slash partner who can teach me the ropes of trad climbing. If you're interested in having a safe reliable but newbie trad partner I have transportation and gear. Trad climbing isn't your thing I would be more than happy to have a top rope or sport climber partner as well.

I often climb in AZ this time of year. If you're free to climb this week (or think you will be) you should contact me ASAP. I'm currently in Cochise, but with any partners I'll probably have to head back to JTree :( I'm keen for good weather and trad. Will drive out for extended trips.

I'm relatively new to outdoor climbing but I'd like to make a habit of it. I've got basic gear for sport climbing and I'm available weekends or even mornings if I could find a willing partner. I'm in Avondale area, I don't mind driving a bit to get somewhere though. Skill wise I can lead 5.9 and follow 5.10d

I'm moving to Grand Canyon Village in a few weeks. Haven't climbed in a couple years, but am ready to get back into it. Is anyone near here? I also skydive and BASE jump (I know there are different sites for that just throwing it out there) If so PM me I can't wait to see some elevation (currently living in Corpus Christi, TX elev. 12 ft)

Hi all! I'll be in Phoenix (from LA) for Thanksgiving and would like to climb either Friday or Saturday. Willing to go anywhere but would love to check out Queen Creek Canyon (specifically the Glitter Box area). I'm a photographer and this looks like a good place to get some cool pics. If you can help me get a small group together, you'll probably get some nice climbing pics out of the deal ;) You can see some of my pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nathanielphoto/sets/72157629200815314/ Also, I have the guidebook for the area. Email me at jkenderes at the gmail. Or facebook.com/jkenderes.

I am planning a trip to Scottsdale from Columbus, OH march 9-16 and I am looking to check out some good bouldering and sport climbing in the area. I am coming alone and the only people I know in AZ don't climb so if there is anyone who would like to show me around a little I will be free basically the entire week. I'd like to hit some good boulders and 5.9 - 5.11 sport routes possibly. Thanks!

Hello, I'm going to be in Tucson and available to climb March 2-4. I've been looking into Mt. Lemmon and Cochise Stronghold, but I'm up for whatever. I will have access to a car and have all my own gear for trad or sport. Looking to do something in the 5.7 to 5.10 range probably. Up for bouldering as well, just want to get out and climb. Thanks Patrick

Hey everybody, I will be in Tuscon on Sunday 3/31 and it would be awesome to link up with someone and climb. I was just out there in February for a weekend and climbed some stuff on Mt Lemmon. I climb mostly sport, trad beginner as well. I will only be able to bring my shoes and harness with me so hopefully someone else can provide rope/draws. I can clean anchors and am a good lead belayer and I can lead sport up to 5.9-5.10. Follow TR up to 5.11
