The Longboat is a climbing area in Phoenix South Mountain Park, on city land in Phoenix, Arizona. It sits among a cluster of bouldering spots and trails, with several other climbing areas and hiking routes within a short distance. 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. Delusions of Grandeur Boulder, Crown Boulder and Snow White Boulder all lie about 0.1 mile away, and the Guadalupe Perimeter Trail is just as close.
