The Grist Mill was recently closed to public access by the Wasatch Cache National Forest Service. MORE INFO >>>
That does not mean access to Lots of Balls Slab or Rodeo Buttress are closed. It just means we have to hike around the clear area surrounding the Grist Mill.
P1- From the vegetated cleft find a flat big rock behind some bushes. There is a bolt above this to the west. Slab you way up 5.5 slab to a sub belay, ramble past this up highly fun and featured slab passing 3 more bolts to a 2 ring anchor 5.5 180'
P2- Climb up and right using chickenheads for progress (crux) aim for the bolt above the overlap. Cruise up easy but dirty terrain to a 2 bolt anchor 5.6 55'
P2 variant- Climb out right from belay to reach a bolt, pad your way up to one more bolt aiming for the roof. Plug in some smaller cams and crank over the roof using big chickenheads, once above clip one more bolt and ramble to the anchor. 5.7 55'
Location
This is to the west of the big vegetated cleft. This is the first line of bolts one will notice when scrambling up the gully that forms on the east side of the slab
Protection
