This was our first time climbing at Granite Dells. We climbed some routes near the stairway in an area called Shady Grove. Although, shady is a bit of a misnomer.

Overall, it was pretty solid crag and we enjoyed a long morning there. We climbed seven routes and generally enjoyed them all. In particular, there was a mixed 5.9 line and a challenging .10a we liked, along with a couple of the easier routes that had some fun movements and a little excitement. The hike into the crag was short and scenic and the crag was situated above a pond and roaring dam, which made the top out views and setting nice. A really cool area for hiking or climbing it appears, we will be back for sure.

Fun little trail system in Prescott although I would recommend doing it when the temps are below 90 degrees. There are two separate trails that are separated by a dirt access road. Was perfect for the boys who enjoyed light scrambling over the smooth granite. The trail is well marked with spray painted white "markers" showing you where to go.
