I don't think I would even climb them if there were, but are there any routes on Picacho Peak?

There must be, but I've never heard or read about anything, even historical or anecdotal, about climbing here. Maybe it's in some Phx area guide I haven't read. Maybe the rock is shite. I don't know.

Anyone know anything about history of climbing on Picacho Peak?

Do you mean other than the hikers trail to the top?

Your statement is pretty much the gist of anything that I have heard or seen written about the climbing there. It is pretty impressive pice of choss though.

Yes, I do. Although it is a fun hike.

That's what I was thinking. The rock must be total junk, or certainly there would be something about it.
