The crags along the Peavine Trail are a climbing area in Arizona, about half a mile from the community of Granite Dells. It sits close to several other climbing spots and hiking routes, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding trails. The area has 13 routes, a mix of sport and trad climbing, with grades ranging from 5.5 to 5.10a/b. Sport routes include Tequila Sunrise at 5.7 and Love Shack at 5.9, while the trad route Kettle of Fish is rated 5.10a/b. High Impact, a trad route at 5.5, is one of the easier options.
