Going to a conference a couple blocks from ASU from 3/30/08 - 4/2/08. I'm 100% happy to boulder alone, but if anyone wants to climb, let me know!

Also, I found a gym nearby, but are there any crags within cab (or biking) distance from ASU?

I can't say whether or not I'll be available, but as far as climbing goes near ASU within bike distance, I don't think there's much. There's Papago park, never climbed there. Last time a friend did a couple years back he said he ran into a swarm of bees, not sure if they were africanized honey bees (aka killer bees). Camelback is a cab ride away - 20mins or so. There's some bouldering and a bit of climbing. It's a volcanic choss pile though, don't be suprised to see hand/foot holds just break off of routes that aren't highly traveled.

Anything else you're looking 30+ mins via car. Nice thing about Camelback is you can get dropped off in the parkinglot and hike up to the boulders/climbs pretty quick.
