Mt. Lemmon
|
We are looking for some advice on Mt. Lemmon for next week. We've never been there and are hoping to stop for a day or 2 between Cochise and Sedona. We are looking for some sunny areas that have more concentrated sport climbs from 5.10-5.12. I looked around on the area descriptions but would love some recommendations. Thanks! |

Milagrosa is low and good but the meat of the climbing is in the shade. You need a 70 + day to be comfortable there, especially if the wind is blowing a bit. |
|
The weather next week is supposed to back up in the low 70s. If it is that warm, Windy Point would be good, as you can chase sun/shade as need be. There are a lot of great 11s and 12s, and some pretty good 10s. Milagrosa is great as well. |

Thanks for the info! |

I was at windy point a week or so ago on a 70 degree day and it was chilly for me but not un-climable by any stretch. Next week says it's going to be warmer than 70 so you may be fine up there. |
|
Halfway would be more like Phoenix. Plenty of options in that area just search on here. |

Sun Spots Is a good option with a number of quality routes in the grade range you mentioned. If it's 70's you'll definitely be good heading up to the windy point area as well.
