Description
There are 5 bolted routes on this cliff. All of them lead easily and have good anchors. The climbs face west and south, but with the high aspect of Mt Olympus to the East, they don't get much morning sun in the shorter months.The approach is simple-- climb up the gully to the south of the cliff, as the direct approach is loose rotten rock, and traverse North to the base.
Getting There
This chunk of quartzite resides just north of Pete's Rock off of Wasatch Boulevard. This is also north of the Mt. Olympus trailhead. (about 5300 S). Getting There: Park in the first lot North of Mount Olympus Train Head. From here walk south <1/4 mile until you see a distinct climbers trail up gully full of scree to the east. Follow the hand lines up. At the top of the gully go left (north) and the first bolted route is Short Roof. The other four are down and to the North.
