The Lost World Camp

Description 

The Lost World Butte and the Tombstone have about 18 multipitch trad routes both aid and free.


Getting There 

Located off Spring Canyon Point Rd, about 30 minutes drive from Moab. Drive 8.5 miles up Rt 313 (Island in the Sky Road) to a road on the right between mile markers 14 and 15. At 1.5 miles take a right on Dudblinky Well and Spring Canyon Bottom Road. Follow for about 6 miles to just before the windmill on the right, and take the road left and pass the Tombstone formation. Take the first right after the Tombstone, and then the second right to a parking area on a flat rock at the end of road, about a quarter mile from the Butte.

Definitely Entrada - some is really good, and some is horrifying. Exercise care...

To Andrew . You picked about the worst section of rock in that area re pitch two Cenotaph Spire.. The other routes in the area are not quite as scarey!!

Could (have?) any of the c1 routes been freed?

I have not heard of any C1 being freed . I guess Family Plot might ? Coffin Doger , and maybe some of Lost World would go all free ?
