I just moved to Prescott, AZ pretty recently. Does anybody know of any dry tooling in Central or Northern Arizona? Easier routes for me, but also looking for harder routes for a friend. Curious if there are any in the area. Thanks!

Did you ever find any routes? I just moved to Prescott and would be stoked on some nearby DT routes

I know of one place dedicated for tools in AZ and that was in the old Queen Creek tunnel. The Mine may have shut it down though.

Whatever you do please don't crush established routes.

I'll look into that thank you! & certainly never would scratch up any crag. Cheers!

For me it's useful training for mixed climbing and alpinism. To each their own.

Arizona dry tooling is the driest in the nation.

Dry tooling in AZ? Why? Isn't the point of living in AZ that you can rock climb year round?

More likely utah here, but good inspiration either way.

A buddy and did a "mixed" route out in the sycamore area last year that had little enough ice to practically be dry.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
