Did you know Arizona is said to have more exposed rock than any other state in the U.S.? This makes the desert one of the nation's most popular destinations for rock climbing.

So, the next stop in our Adventure Arizona series takes ABC15's Jason Snavely to McDowell Mountain in Scottsdale for his very first rock climbing expedition. SPOILER: Turns out Jason's first climb would be on a rock called "Student Death Slab." Would he survive and conquer? Click on the above video to find out.
