Yes, Papago has climbing! Checked out the south face wall this weekend and did one of the 5.6 routes. The routes here are all very long (approx 55m) so a single 60m rope won't cut it. Super easy and fast climbing, but the top belay and anchor situation takes some time to set up especially if you have a big group. The walk-off at the top is not recommended, probably safer to rappel back down. It's somewhat of a "dirty" climb with lots of rocks being dislodged, some handholds were iffy, and definitely wear a helmet even if you are just hanging out at the bottom of the route. Fun day!
