Climbing in my home town: Tucson, Arizona.

Tucson is the most lush desert in the world.

Windy Point, on Mount Lemmon, offers a wonderful view of the Old Pueblo (Tucson), indeed the entire valley. This is also where a large number of Mt. Lemmon climbing routes are located.

For a good comprehensive site on climbing in southern Arizona, check out Climb Arizona. Also, if you are climbing in Tucson, please consider joining Tucson Safe Climbing Association.

Here is a list of climbs on Mt. Lemmon that I remember climbing. I know that I have climbed several others whose names I don't remember.
