Description Suggest change

This is THE CRAG in Logan Canyon! A big steep wall with some of the hardest climbing in all of Utah, including Super Tweak (14b). There are also a few routes for mere mortals who can only do 12s.

This crag is steep and intimidating, and is probably the most obvious wall in the whole canyon.The bolts are plentiful and various linkups criss cross all over the crag. The easiest route on the cave is about 12b (Oboe), but there is a more vertical wall just to the right of the cave that holds several 10s and 11s (and some really hard routes too).

Getting There Suggest change

Park at mile 383.4 on the north side right near a bridge. Walk up canyon on a trail for about 5 minutes until you walk under the massive cave.

If you are driving up the canyon and you see China Wall (and you can't miss it), you have gone too far.
