Description 

Thirty feet east of The Kitchen lies George. Multiple routes rating from 5.8 to 5.12 climb up or on either side of an overhanging arete.

The main face of George (10 feet over from the main arete) hosts several nicely bolted routes that are sure to thrill the intermediate level climber.

All routes feature good bolt anchors at the top.


Getting There 

Hike up the canyon from the main parking lot for about .25 miles. Pass the water house on your right, and after passing The Kitchen on your right go through the main, green gate.

You will immediately see a short gully to right of the trail that goes up about 25 feet of trail before it hits a large chimney with a giant chockstone placed in it about 20 feet up. George starts at the arete on the left side of the chimney and includes all of the faces to the east along the craggy face.

Featured Route For George
Me trying (and ultimately failing) to get over the roof on George of the Jungle. This is right before I fell and messed up my leg.

George of the Jungle 5.12a  UT : Wasatch Range : ... : George
The obvious roof near the bottom. pretty darn powerful underclings to crimpers. The upper prow is only 5.10b or so, but incredible. You can climb this upper part alone by skipping around to the 5.9 start up the chimney to the right. ...[more]   Browse More Classics in UT
