Tucson Rock Climbing
Private rock climbing trips for all ability levels.
Mount Lemmon Climbing
Mount Lemmon is the hub for outdoor activity in Tucson, and is host to world class climbing for all ability levels.
Join our experienced guides on your climbing trip on scenic Mount Lemmon, the “sky island” shadowing the valley of Tucson. Enjoy cool mountain temps on the granite walls and limestone crags, where we provide friendly instruction.
There is no experience necessary— with thousands of routes to choose from, there is something for everyone. If you’re new to the sport, we’ll start on a mellower climb and work our way up from there. If you’re a climber with some gym experience looking to transition into the world of outdoor climbing, we’re happy to help guide you in that journey. And if you’re already a crusher, we’ll find something to challenge you!
Offering half and full day rock climbing experiences.
What Makes Tucson Climbing Special
Southern Arizona is a destination that draws rock climbers from all across the world. Just outside Tucson, the 26-mile Mount Lemmon Highway winds through desert and mountain scenery, providing access to hundreds of climbing areas and more than 3,000 established routes. It is a paradise for hikers, climbers and others seeking outdoor activity with nearly year-round accessibility to trailheads.
Once a rugged frontier of the Wild West, Tucson still holds on to that spirit of adventure. The city serves as the perfect base camp for mountain adventures, with quick access to quiet, scenic, and uncrowded climbing areas across the surrounding ranges. With its laid-back vibe, clean desert air, and incredible variety of climbs, Tucson remains an amazing and still under-the-radar climbing destination.
After You Book
After you book, your guide will contact you two days prior to the trip to introduce themselves and touch base.
The meet-up spot on the day of your trip is Le Buzz Cafe. Grab a coffee and a snack if you’re hungry!
Gear fitting takes about 15 minutes and from there it is a short drive up the winding mountain highway to the cliffs and crags of Mount Lemmon.
