Description
Thirteenmile Rock Butte is a basalt butte east of Camp Verde which is found off the heels of Highway 260, roughly thirteen miles from the interchange of Highway 260 and Interstate 17. This somewhat compact area first saw development in the late 90’s and into the early 2000’s by local Camp Verde climbers. The grades are moderate for the most part with sport and trad routes to be found. Most, if not all the routes have bolted chain anchors. It is recommended to at least bring a single set of cams and a set of wires to supplement the bolts if need be. Breathtaking views of the Verde Valley!
Getting There
From the Interstate 17/ Highway 260 interchange drive east on 260 for roughly thirteen miles. South of the Butte is a dirt road on the west side of 260 at 34.498448, -111.681232. Drive up the dirt road and pass through a rolling metal gate. No issues accessing with 2WD.
Take this dirt road to a gravel pit where you can park by the large rusted cylinder storage tank. Then walk up the path a bit and turn right to get on the approach, look for a climber’s trail that switchbacks it’s way up to the southwest end of the butte.
