heya! i'm moving the flagstaff around junish for the summer.

what are some good local crags ( i'm mostly a sport climber, i can only belay/follow trad!)

also good camping areas? i know the town is surrounded my forest land... but are some spots better than others?

and areas to avoid for whatever reasons?

i have a 24 foot motor home i'll be living out of.

No idea, but if you want to connect, we can learn north AZ together. Just moved to Cottonwood and looking for partner options.

Can lead trad as long as you're a skilled belay.

Let me know if interested once you get in the area.

Good sport crags near Flagstaff are easy: The Pit, Jacks Canyon, Hobo Jungle. All have camping you can access. You can try Winslow Wall too but it may be a bit difficult to access in the motor home. You could just park near the McHood Reservoir and take a boat upstream for the DWS.

A big problem with camping in the forest around Flagstaff is fire danger and the closing of the forest to camping. Stays that way until the rains come in July or August.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
