The sandstone here is easily damaged when wet. Please allow at least 24-48 hours before climbing after any precipitation. If the ground is at all damp, please do not climb on any local sandstone. Consider nearby options on basalt, limestone, granite, or plastic instead.
Description
Sandstone crack, chimney, and varnish face climbing. Sport and trad with six or seven routes from 5.4 to 5.11a. Deviant Chimney is nice on a hot afternoon because it is well-shaded. All the routes are within a 50-75 yard wide section of the wall.
Getting There
Hackberry Wash Wall is south of the large Island in the Sky formation. If you get the Snow Canyon State Park Climbers Information pamphlet from the park entrance station you can find it on the map, although it isn't obvious from the map on which part of the wall the routes are.
Park at the pullout for Jenny's Canyon trail and hike east on the trail to the dry wash. Turn south in the wash and look for a trail on your left. Take this trail east and south until you reach another dry wash. Follow this wash south until you see a large boulder in front of a wall that has a large, vertical crack in the center, and a large hole (or cave) in the wall above the ledge at the top of the ground wall. (Or just look for what you see in the picture in the Goss guidebook). Find the trail leading from the wash to the base of the wall.
