The "Gimme Some" Dome is a climbing area in Tucson Mountain Park, Arizona, on county land. It sits within the Tucson Mountains climbing area, about 0.1 mile away, and is managed by the county. The dome's six routes are all top-roped, with grades ranging from 5.6 to 5.9-. The easiest is Amar-EZ at 5.6, and the hardest is Should I Stay Or Should I Go? at 5.9-. The routes are named with a mix of whimsy and practicality, including Hollow Headed Blondes and Blonde Ambition. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tucson run from highs around 75°F in March to 86°F in October, while summer highs reach the low 100s.
