Located in the Dragoon Mountains, Cochise Stronghold, Rockfellow Dome is one of a cluster of cliffs frequented by climbing enthusiasts. While there is certainly something for everyone, those seeking traditional, multi-pitch climbing will have a special appreciation for this area.
Most of the quality crack climbs in Southern Arizona are found here, as are some of longest routes in this part of the state. Many of these routes are difficult, committing, and very runout.
Climbing here is a true backcountry experience. The remote setting paired with the committing nature of the climbs here require extensive preparation. The terrain is rugged and maze-like. Allow plenty of time for approaches and err on the side of caution.
There are many routes that have been developed since the 1970's, so look for routes that have already been done. During the climbing season, there are usually some fellow climbers present, so ask around for the best routes.
The area also has great cultural significance to many people. Treat it with due respect.
