Description 

Sedona is an incredible place to rock climb. While the rock can sometimes be a bit scary and adventurous, there are many gems scattered amongst the red rock spires and walls. There are a few isolated cragging areas, some bouldering, and of course a lot of longer adventure climbs. There's nothing like perching on top of a spire back in the canyons with gorgeous views in every direction! Generally you're climbing on sandstone, but there are some bands of limestone as well as basalt up the nearby Oak Creek Canyon. Climbing can be done year-round, but in the summer the heat can be oppressive. Sedona itself is a fun, albeit touristy, place to visit, and camping can be found on national forest land nearby.

Getting There 

Sedona sits at the intersection of highways 179 and 89A just south of Flagstaff. Routes are spread throughout many of the spires and canyons in the area.
