I just returned home from an adventure climbing in Cochise Stronghold with a NOLS alumni trip. I met some truly amazing people and got to spend time in one of the most beautiful places. I never thought I would like the desert as much as I did, but I fell in love. We had 5 days of amazing weather, which was a welcome break from winter. I gained a lot of valuable climbing experience and cannot wait to out and climb more this summer. If you like to climb then I would highly recommend Cochise Stronghold, AZ as a destination. In addition to several fun multi-pitch days there are lots of great single pitch days to be had and good camping and running too. Excellent place for an adventurous vacation!
