Short Steep Stuff

Utah > Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood Canyon

Description

South facing and close to the road, these routes are nice quick climbs. They are steep but allow you to make the moves due to the good pro. 2 are bolted 1 is trad with anchors. The rock is juggy, but with soft edges, a little dirty but cleaning up.

Getting There

Past Moss Ledges, on the left you will pass broken cliffs, at the east end of these just before a big expanse of non-rocky hillside is this cliff. This is just beyond a concrete pullout on the right. Locate the chains from the road and scramble up the tiny trail.
