Lucky me my girlfriend's parents have moved from flat western Kentucky to Phoenix AZ. If the weather holds I'll be headed there soon for about a week or so. Does anyone have some suggestions or know of some problems that I just "have" to get on. I'm not that good so easy to moderate problems would be best but I'll fall off of anything

And before anyone yells at me I've checked Dr. Topo and I've put together the guide for Oak Flats. There is the plan unless I hear of something better.

<edit> I posted this b/c I ordered a guide book and didn't expect it to arrive until after I left. It (Rock Jock's guide to Queen Creek Canyon) came yesterday. If anyone ever heads out to Phoenix area and wants to borrow it let me know </edit>

go to rockclimbing.com their is a page on the area.

Camelback Mt. is right there in Phoenix, but it absolutely sucks in my opinion. You can drive about an hour east of Phoenix to Superior and climb at Queen Creek. About ten miles past Superior is the Oak Flats Campground, which is great. You'll have to park in the campground and hike around fifteen minutes, but it's worth it.

Thanks for the advice guys but I've been there and back now.

I only was able to get out for less than half a day while I was out. (4 year olds argh!) Made it out to Camelback Mt. for some bouldering. Only sent a few lines (V0ish) but it was a blast.

Next time I'm out there I have to go out to Oak Flats and Euro Dog Valley for a few days.
