Guided Rock Climbing Tours in Scottsdale
Beginner-friendly climbs and private instruction in the Sonoran Desert.
Our rock climbing tours run in the desert crags around Scottsdale and Phoenix, from a first morning on rock to a full day of climbing and rappelling.
Half-day trips are the introduction: knots, belaying, body position and your first routes, with a guide on the rope the whole time. The full-day private trip goes further, with more time and more routes. Rappelling trips are for anyone who wants the descent without the climb, and the intro course is for people who want to learn the craft properly.
October through April is the comfortable season. Summer trips start at first light. Tell us your experience and we will match the wall to it.
