Miyazaki

Arizona > Central Arizona > *Prescott Area > Granite Dells > Crags along the… > Upper Boulder Creek

Description

This area was named after Hayao Miyazaki, cartoonist and director of incredibly illustrated movies like Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro. This area boasts rock that seems straight out of one of his wild films: a highly intriguing granite outcrop composed of massive, bulbous boulders.

The East side has 50-80 foot often steep trad and mixed routes.
The North side has two crimpy routes that lead to cracks, with an optional second pitch.
The West side has a dozen short 5.6 - 5.10 crack climbs.

Getting There

Try to find room at N Granite Gardens Dr pull off (34.60619, -112.41205) or park at Prescott Peavine Trailhead and travel 2 miles north. Head to a bike lock station just before the Peavine Dome area (34.5940, -112.40725). Head east through the red gate along the Boulder Creek trail and after a quarter of a mile look to the north (34.59355, -112.40478).

[Hide Comment] Great crag! Hardware on the walls was all super bomber, the belay stations are great on the wall and the ground, too. Apr 3, 2024
