Does anyone have any info on this area?

There's some info in Jimmy G's Ibex guidebook. Rumor had him thinking and/or working on a second edition, and, maybe putting some more route info on Sawtooth in there. Also, Jason Stevens has some beta as well.

Also, based on personal experience (ok, 20 years ago), if you get in an accident out there, and you can make it to a larger ER, do that. Maybe the ER in Delta is better now, but, I had a "1910" style doctor (only game in town) deal with my wounds and it didn't turn out so great...

You might post up on Utah climbers and ask there as well.

Cheers.

I'm guessing you're after super cool granite of West Sawtooth Canyon on the west side of Notch...?... vs. the survivable limestone in the Sawtooth Canyon on the the east side? There's been a few different strings on Painter Springs granite that have floated through this forum that might be of interest. One in particular comes to mind:
mountainproject.com/v/north… . Definitely check out James' Ibex guide. Good stuff. And it is so darn cute. I thought James' new book was nigh at hand?

Sweet.
thanks for the info. I was out there march 4th, (of course it was the same day as a massive dust storm), the area looked awesome but I wasn't able to locate the climbs. I didn't have much time to search though.
