Rock Climbing

Prime climbing routes exist all over the state. However, rock climbers need not leave the Valley to get satisfaction. Climbers are often seen dangling from rock pinnacles and shear walls at Echo Canyon, Papago Park, North Scottsdale, and the McDowell Mountains.

For those who wish to learn about the sport and get the basics down before attempting an outdoor climb, the Phoenix Rock Gym is the ideal facility. This indoor gym offers a safe environment for getting started.


Tom Thumb's Butte in the McDowells is a popular route among climbers.
