The Balcony as viewed from Solitary Misdemeanors.

Description 

Walk just past the Hidden Wall. Turn around, and look up and back left a bit and you will see one of the best cliffs in the whole canyon!

The wall faces east and is shady most of the day. Be ready with your best skin as most of the routes here are crimp-feasts! Every route is pretty darn awesome!


Getting There 

Head up a hard-to-see gully just past the [[105739774]. You will eventually be led to the crumbly wall on top of which The Balcony sits.

There is a 5.9-ish approach pitch. The approach pitch takes you up to the slopey ledge at the base of The Balcony.

Featured Route For The Balcony

Snake Juice 5.11c  UT : Wasatch Range : ... : The Balcony
The shortest route on the wall but not a bad warm-up. The crimps are bigger that usual but a bit sharper for the most part. Need to climb up to a nice ledge first but pretty easy. Crimp your way up to a tree partway up the wall....[more]   Browse More Classics in UT

I'm pretty sure the second project mentioned is a 13b if you go to the very top.

Learning to fly is easy to find and extremely fun! Has a soloing anchor and small 11 D scratched into rock.
