I have a couple of days free later this month to visit my brother in Safford. We want to find a good top-rope location. With Mt. Graham nearby, there should be something available. Does anyone have any experience there or suggestions? Thanks!

Have flown over the area untold times and am constantly impressed with the obvious great rock on the mountain. Unfortunately, I think the area is so infrequently used that there are few if any established TR climbing areas. Your best bet is probably to eyeball something that looks good and hike up there and try to sling a tree at the top of a descent looking wall and give it a go. I did this same thing with a group of kids a few years back up on the rim and it worked out pretty good.
