Truly Suburban Climbing

UT : Wasatch Range : Red Rock

Just me sitting on top adjusting a pad under the rope. Serious rope drag if you use the lower set of anchors. Save yourself effort and just clip the higher set.

My wife TR'ing the route. Shot is pretty much second bolt and up.

Baby Teeth is about as straight of a shot as a climb can get.

Comments: I was there last August (2007) and it was simply amazing. I was incredibly sad that I only had one day... If you're anywhere near northern California, this area is totally worth the trip. Plan to spend at least a whole day. Bonus - it's not far from the Redwoods Hostel.

Comments: While I wouldn't consider it a super quality or challenging climb, it is a great place to get someone a bit scared of climbing to do a TR. The low angle and numerous, large footholds definitely increase a beginner's confidence. It certainly gets a star for confidence builder. When clipping the anchors, clip the higher set - maybe not 5.6 to get to, but less drag for a lower or TR.

Comments: Good clean fun. It was a super nice line for a 5.7 It had better flow than Baby Teeth, almost making it an easier climb. And of course, it also makes and excellent first lead.

Comments: Perfect route for a new leader. Clean the anchors when your last party climbs the route. These anchors are not like most of the others - they are a pain to get to from the top (however, it is cleanable from the top if you persevere and bushwack a little).

Comments: Great little climbing area. Definitely falls into the category of Suburban Cragging, with a golf course within earshot of the climbs. That said, the routes are quality for their mix of grades and should clean up nice with a little more use. Big direction note: The cliff can be a little hard to see when you're heading towards it, so here's my hint - Get off on Bangerter as suggested (on the Red Rock climbs page) and follow that road through the intersection with the Chevron. At this point, Ba... more >>
