Jaws Boulder/Pringle Wall is a bouldering area in Phoenix South Mountain Park, on city land in Phoenix, Arizona. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Public Enema Roof, Moby Dick and Snow White Boulder all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 10 routes on the V scale ranging from V0 to V3. Monster Offspring is the easiest at V0, and Jalapeno is the hardest at V3. Pizza and BBQ are also among the options, with grades of V1 and V2. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in South Phoenix show January highs around 67°F and lows near 42°F, while summer highs climb into the 100s. That station sits about 480 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. The Guadalupe Perimeter Trail is about 0.2 mile away, and the Young Man Trail and Hidden Valley Trail are within a mile. Mountain bikers can head to the Desert Classic Trail, about a mile off.
