Gecko Climbing Gym, Phoenix

For those who like to spend time actively with a bit of adrenaline involved, Gecko Climbing Gym may just be the place to go. Boasting climbing and bouldering walls, over 30 feet tall, with more than 4,000 holds it challenges both beginners and more experienced visitors. As they climb, the guests are surrounded by giant colorful murals depicting sunset at the Arizona desert, which create a special atmosphere. Those who need some guidance can attend an instructional course, and clients with a competitive streak can participate in climbing competitions. Children are welcome, too–they can take advantage of a kids' wall equipped with a 6-foot spiral slide.
