Description Suggest change

***As of late March 2024 this is a fee area, part of Snow Canyon State Park. Website for park fees ***

Chuckawalla Wall is a sunny crag, facing S/SW into the sun for most of the day in the winter. While this crag offers a few nice days of good sport climbing, it lacks the broad variety that would make it a "destination crag." It is more of a stop along the way or one of several crags you might want to visit if you were to travel to the area.

The red sandstone here is an attractive formation, being mostly good, and while gentle on the hands, is also a little slick in spots from the polishing of many hands. The climbing is on pockets, slopers, and crimps most of the time.

Here's an oblique, aerial view of the crag.

All of the routes are bolted and none require more than 10 clips. Each has a relatively good top anchor to rap or lower from. Most have mussy hooks or some other type of biners to clip. If top-roping, please use your own biners or draws to avoid wearing the anchors.

The area is reached via a 2 minute hike from a nice parking area with nice clean potties and trashcans. Please respect the area, pick up trash and stay on trails.

Getting There Suggest change

From Saint George, go N. on Bluff Street ~ 1 mile past Sunset BLVD, where a pull-out and parking area will be obvious on the left side of the road. Just down the hill to the West you can see Chuckawalla Wall and a few miles in is Turtle Wall. Walk the obvious path to the crag (2 min)
