The Grail is a climbing area in Arizona on Bureau of Land Management land within the Arizona Strip Field Office. It sits among several other climbing spots, with The South-Facing Wall (AKA the North Wall), The Back Walls and The Sacred Trust all about 0.1 mile away. Redbud Canyon is about 0.2 mile off. The climbing here is sport-only, and the grades run from 5.10a up to 5.13c/d, with 54 routes in total. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 78°F, while July averages a high of 101°F. That station sits well below the area, so expect temperatures up here to run cooler. Among the routes, Eminent Domain is 5.10a and Magnum Opus is 5.13c/d. The The is 5.12, and Khaleesi is 5.11c.
