I am in need a another climbing partner my old one has just gotten to busy and doesn't have time to hit the gym twice a week like we used too. I go to PRG and I am free to climb any day after 430 pm. I am also up to do outdoor climbing I can climb sport and trad but can only lead on sport. There is...

I had a great time and learned a lot.
thank you Sirena

I had a wonderful time and you are an awsome climber partner. :thanx:

I am working a trail maintenance with AMC that day

I recommend that you avoid carbon fibre. I tried acarbin fibre set several years ago and had them break when I was catching myself from falling. The break was near the handle and left a knife sharp point which with a little bad luck could have sliced my wrist.And yes I did fall as they broke suddenl...

Wish I could make this. I have looked at that range many times over the years but was comitted elsewhere. Enjoy the trip and make sure Randy has fun

Love my eTrex which has saved me a couple times from pointless wandering

The fire has apparently gone through the main climbing area (AzDailySun) . Sad since it was such a beautiful area and great climbing. It will take some time to determine what is and is not climbable. I imagine that Deidre who published the guide and did much of the building must be heartbroken.

4-months notice too far out for you to decide?
Long range planning for climbers is next weekend

I can see canyons being an issue, but how about remote, wooded areas? For example Blue Range Primitive Area. It seems like as long as a GPS could snag a signal, the Spot wouldn't have much of an issue... steep and narrow canyons are a problem as is triple canopy jungle. The spot has to get a rather...

We acquired a SPOT II last fall and I have been using it for hiking (but not climbing). It has been a huge relief for my spouse to know where I am and that it I am okay. She logs onto the spot web and can follow the track I am on, even when it leads to a post hike bar with Tibber. I send an OK messa...

Steve: Although Fritzie started this thread 2 years ago the info is still pretty accurate. The Phoenix Rock Climbing meetup group climbs indoors at PRG on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7pm. They also meet Wednesday night 7u pm at AZ on the Rocks in Scottsdale. There is an outdoor sport climbing eve...

clockwise
bull pass
side trip - yes if you have the daylight

born in Tucson, stuck in Phoenix

Newman peak accross the freeway from Picacho is state land

sounds like fun although I hope it will be a bit tamer than the normal Janel/Liz adventure

Joe B has a route called "the ultimate ridge line" that I believe covers the hard part from Massacre up to the ridgeline trail. When you hit the ridgeline trail you would go west along it and bump into flatiron. Not a real popular way to get there but in haz terms it is doable

Way to go Bob. Amazing that Mke is able to maintain that pace under those conditions.

congratulations.
great photos and we realy like the picture of Efie. It is life size and he has such an expression
