The book is gorgeous with beautiful photos, detailed topos, and tons of information. I definitely recommend that all local and visiting Cochise climbers pick up a copy. Well done Tanya.- John Hendrixson


Tanya, I received West guide this week.  It's gorgeous!  I love everything about it... great writing, stunning photos, use of color, the factoids, the diagrams, the perfect backpack size (glad you split it into two volumes), the beautiful layout, and historic photos (e.g. Scott Ayers in tube socks).   -Tom Chong


Great guidebook! The approach and route descriptions are right on the money. We had a blast at Headline Dome on the backside of the Sheepshead yesterday.  Thanks for all the hard work. - Tony Horness

The Set is complete!

Climbing like a woman possessed, taking endless photos, and thousands of computer hours to tackle the graphic design. I quit a few times, I had my first wobbler both on and off the rock, I wore out my feet and had surgery, I even killed 2 computers. So why keep at it? The Stronghold inspired me, pushed me, and change the course of my life. It holds an adventure for everyone in its wild labyrinth of domes and canyons. The crux has always been the lack of beta, the hardman persona that intimidates people, and the complex navigation. I wanted to give others the opportunity to experience the Stronghold as I know it- a place of self empowerment. So I have seen it through and I have learned that we all can do anything if we believe in ourselves. What is your inspiration?

I am hosting a guidebook release party at Dragoon
Brewing Co.


Each guidebook comes with a complimentary beer! Try a Dragoon IPA or a Stronghold Session.

From the Guidebook Author

cochise stronghold rock climbing

This website has been created so I can share my  Cochise Stronghold  knowledge with you.
I have no great climbing resume  or a cutting edge tick list to talk about.  What I do have is unbeatable determination, childlike exuberance, and the experience of thousands and thousands of feet of climbing on rock, ice, snow and mountains all over North America. I am always jacked up on coffee, chewing ibuprofen,  and  slightly irreverent.
I am honored to be able to share this with you and hope to see out out there soon,  Tanya
