Heading to Phoenix, and thought I'd check out Oak Flats. I got the topo from DrTopo, and I'm a little confused about the route descriptions. Many problems have the terms TR or DH in the description. Anyone know what these mean? (I don't boulder much, but I assume TR is not top-rope, since the problems all have V-grade designations)

I think...........
TR = top rope problem
DH = dead hang start
SD = sit down start

what about the P-grades? Did they just mess up and mean "v" or is it short for Phoenix?

Yeah, the 'P' does stand for the Phoenix system used in Phoeinx Bouldering Contest aka Boulder Blast. It allows a lower end to the V scale. A conversion chart is in The Rock Jock;s Guide to Queen Creek Canyon by Marty Karabin.
