This weekend I'm off to Phoenix for a wedding and will have one whole day to go
climbing...yipeeee (how pathetic).

Whats the best guidebook to climbs in and around Phoenix (opland's guide at
chessler seems a bit old 1996) and where would be a good place to do some
bouldering and maybe some easy leads?  Sport leads maybe would be in order so I
wouldn't have to lug all my gear for one lousy day.

I'll have transportation.

Thanks

I'm not a climbing wiz, but I did climb at Camelback Mountain.  Some easy
5.7-5.9's, and there's a nice climb on the (adjective:  Sitting, Praying,
Knealing?) Monk.  Also, some really nice bouldering.

It's right in town, and very easy to get to.

Hope this helps.

No kidding!  anhaga is the perfect pet: Loyal, intelligent, climbs rocks,
and hilarious!  Whoever thinks dogs are good companions at the crag, they
should get a mutnt.

thnks anhaga!

Climbing around Phoenix started in the late 40's...there's finite rock...most
of the routes (but not all) that are going up in the granite areas (covered by
my book) around Phoenix have been done. Other than maybe needing to cut some
chapters for the areas that have been closed because of the pursuit of golf in
the desert, the book is pretty much dead on for what's available. For one day,
it seems you could find enough to do, even in a book that's "a bit old." But
that's ok...you're obviously looking for Queen Creek.

You need to see the world more Greg.  Lots of new sport routes can be
chipped in a granite area in 6 years.
