About us
We are changing the name to be “Phoenix Climbing Scene – Arizona and Beyond.” Through discussion and emails we will share stories and information about climbing. Hard True American. Rock Snow and Ice.
Please feel free to submit your trip reports, factual news, reposts of climbing legend updates, gear reviews and gear sales. We will also encourage your networking for partners. As always we are a moderated site so membership and posts will be examined for consistency with the vision and for their quality.
We will continue to work supporting MeetUps for this group. The next step will be to add additional On-Line MeetUps and then to work toward a format for Rock Gym MeetUps and opportunities to climb outside.
More to follow. In the mean time enjoy.

Virtual Outing –Top-Ropeable Crags in the McDowells
·OnlineOnlineTop-Ropeable Crags in the McDowells – Perfect for practicing your anchor skills.
One of the neat features of living in the Phoenix metroplex is having high quality granite rock climbing within the Valley of the Sun. There are many crags in the McDowells where it is easy to set up top roes. Erik and Cheryl Beaver authored McDowell Rock: A Climber’s Guide. It is the best single source of a comprehensive listing of the McDowell’s rock climbing adventures.
Many of the crags are easily top-ropeable. I will be showing the approaches to the tops of the crags for setting up top-ropes. Included will be:
Rock Knob
Sven Slab
Rosetta Stone
Girlie Man
Sven Towers I
Hog Heaven
Morrells Parking Area
Cross Roads
Goat Hill
Fort McDowell
Half and Half
Lost Wall
