Gonna have to plug some local stone for this one--population over 100k (barely) and climbing WITHIN its city limits. One pitch routes with cracks dominating and decent unsung bouldering...
...Billings, Montana and its Rimrocks--good enough for Dick Cilley to spend time at :-)

donini restricted it to within the city limits and 100K population.
Unless they've pushed SLC's city limits up the hills, there's none within the city, even if you throw in Cottonwood heights, Sandy and Draper (well maybe some bouldering). Plenty of excellent climbing within Salt Lake County, winter and summer.
Oddly enough there's a decent short crag within San Francisco, if you like SlickAsSnotOnADoorknob serpentine. And of course Indian Rock in Berkeley.
Obviously neither in a league with Rio.
Holyrood in Edinburgh. But the "crag" isn't much bigger than the one in SF.

I believe the Tromso Norway crags are within the "city limits" which cover a lot of area. If they are, they would definitely top the list. Summer and winter. But Tromso only has 69K residents. Blew me away to see such a large and modern city that far North. I was expecting something more like Talkeetna.
700 rock climbing routes in Oslo?

Quincy Quarries, Quincy (Boston), Ma. Now that the "Irish Mafia" is largely behind bars or pushing up daisies the car vandalism might diminish.
But ya know? I think donini is on to something!

Mexico City has some fine climbing within its borders, as does Monterrey.
