Arizona Climbing Information - Phoenix Area
All of the areas under the Phoenix area link on the left are within an hour of Phoenix and are accessible by passenger car. The guidebook Phoenix Rock II is available at Phoenix retailers listed below and includes a number of smaller areas (not listed here), many of which involve back country techniques. Many areas have small $2 pocket guides. Be aware that July and August can bring rain and severe lightning storms in the afternoons; this is Arizona’s "monsoon season."
