I am going to be staying in Park City from July 14-18. I would like to get in a day or two of climbing. What in the area would you recommend? I mostly climb on gear/boulder but cannot bring pads.

Go to the Unitas. Lots of bolts to clip and gear routes. Plenty of bolted lines that are much more fun lead on gear.

The closest are the crags in Parleys Canyon. Not too great though. You'll want to just make the trip down to salt lake and hit up the Cottonwoods.

+1 for Uintas. Good time of year and good rock.

Take Guardsman pass to BCC. There is more than enough there to keep you busy for two days.

What crags would you recommend hitting up in BCC? Sounds like a time.

Trad, sport, muli-pitch, easy TR access, etc?? Also what grade range?

Mark Westfall 1 · · Boulder, CO · Joined May 2015 · Points: 0

I prefer to climb on gear. 5.10-11

Goodros Wall (Storm Mountain Area/Storm Mountain Island) a must do 10C Trad line.

Strone Crag

Moss Ledges

Brighton Frighton Wall

Narcalepsy

S-Curves

Easier Muli-pitch: Steort's Ridge, Outside Corner

There are of course many more options but I think this list should give you some good routes to try. Black Monday at the S-curves just had a hardware upgrade and is a super fun route.

Also feel free to hit me up if you need a catch. 801-six three three-five six seven seven

That said, you'll want to climb Goodro's @ Storm Mountain for sure. mountainproject.com/v/goodr…

Also Psychobabble, Challenge, Glass Ocean, north end of Dead Snag would work for you. All accessed from the same parking spot across from Storm Mtn picnic area. No reason for you to go anywhere else really. Bring lots of small cams and wires for BCC.

If you are looking for gear routes in the range you mentioned you should just drive around to LCC. Its not much longer than driving over guardsmens pass to bcc. Check the classics list for LCC on MP

What is the best crag to hit up in LCC?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
