This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This fun climb does seem to be getting quite a bit of traffic for the area.

Another route called BRING A FRIEND is 1 meter to the right of SPQ and it shares the anchor. It doesn't seem as positive and may be a bit harder. Named after my favorite Drive Inn burger joint in Santaquin. And also the day I went back to replace the anchors on COMING FULL CIRCLE, one of the highschoolers waiting for her TR on the route was really the Santaquin Prom Queen!

Pitch #1: Climb interesting pocket/disjointed crack features up the sustained limestone face. Homogeneous for its grade. 5.10a, 30m.

Location 

Also park 0.1 mile past the one lane bridge and walk a few seconds to the route. This is on the same popular wall on the left side of the road as COMING FULL CIRCLE, but on the far right side of the wall about 100m further up canyon.

Protection 

QDs for 12 bolts to a Metolius Rap Hanger and a vertically placed chain.
