Bob Kerry's Backcountry Guide- Some seriously rad desert climbs... Leviation Dome...:

I really like my Climbing Arizona Falcon guide. It covers a ton of Lemmon as well as cochise climbing. Also has tons of other great stuff in Sedona, Granite Mtn (AZ little bigwall), and paradise forks, etc...
Squeeze the Lemmon II is great but the falcon guide should keep you busy for a while and coves soooo much good AZ stuff outside of Tucson as well.
There is also a tucson bouldering guide you could get at Summit Hut in tucson if that is what you are looking for.
Mt. Lemmon is bitchen... you can drive from 2000ft hotashell tucson up to a ski mtn at 9000ft in about 30min
I grew up in Tucson and am still crazy about the place. PM me if you want some more

If you boulder at Cochise, do "Dominatrix without Mercy" or go home.
and bring a rope....

I would hit up Cochise before March when the raptor closures go into effect or the best spots will be out. Geir Hundal has some good quality honest topos of the area. http://www.geir.com/climbs.html . Be careful of that Kerry guidebook, as essential as it is to have, take the ratings with a grain of salt. Maybe the most sandbagged place i have ever been.
