Rock Climbing Rock Climbing Review

The abundance of high red rock walls, cliffs and spires provide an almost unlimited number of climbing routes for technical rock and free climbers. Since many of these walls are made of sandstone, which can break easily, these routes are not for beginners. But don't worry about being left without an opportunity for some vigirous exercise. Sedona's terrain presents unlimited alternatives to challenge the outdoor enthusiast.
