Dromedary Peak is a climbing area in Arizona on county land, part of a proposed open space unit. The peak's own routes sit right beside two other climbing areas, Ivory Tower and Gray Wall, each about 0.1 mile away, so the three make a natural cluster for a single visit. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from the nearby Superior, Arizona weather station show April highs around 78°F and November highs around 72°F, while July highs average near 99°F and June and August average about 97°F. The routes here run from 5.8 to 5.9 on the YDS scale. Hedge Hog is a trad route at 5.8, and Nirvana and Cosmic Debris are sport routes at 5.8 and 5.9. The climbing areas of Ivory Tower and Gray Wall are both within a tenth of a mile.
