Comic Cliff is a climbing area in Arizona, about a mile from the town of Granite Dells. It sits right beside Thor's Wall and West Shore, and the North Shore Trail starts within a tenth of a mile, so it pairs easily with other outings in the area. The climbing here offers a mix of trad and top-rope routes, with seven routes listed in total. Four are trad and three are top-rope, and grades run from 5.7 to 5.11a. Punchline and Stand Up are both 5.7 trad climbs, while We Can Dream is a 5.11a top-rope route. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Prescott weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August average highs near 90°F. Lynx Campground, Lynx Lake Marina & Store Boating Site and Eagle Ridge Group Campground lie about five to six miles away, and the Bradshaw Ranger District is roughly five miles off.
