Tucson Bouldering! - Mt. Lemmon

First full day in Tucson I bouldered at Mt. Lemmon. There may be some great bouldering at Mt. Lemmon but unfortunately I was too busy bush whacking through snow to climb too much. Me and my couch surfing host Eric wandered through the mountain to find the Secret Gully. Apparently the Gully wanted to stay hidden. It took many tries but we finally made it! But many of the landings were pretty bad and there was so much vegetation that grew around the rocks that we had a hard time getting some good climbing in. Even so the trip up there was amazing. To go from desert filled with saguaro to snowy peaks was an amazing drive.

  1. Pretty crazy right? Never thought I'll be knee deep in snow while in Tucson.
