George

Utah > Wasatch Range > Southern Wasatch > Rock Canyon

Description

Thirty feet east of The Kitchen lies George. Multiple routes rating from 5.8 to 5.12 climb up or on either side of an overhanging arete.

The main face of George (10 feet over from the main arete) hosts several nicely bolted routes that are sure to thrill the intermediate level climber.

All routes feature good bolt anchors at the top.

Getting There

Hike up the canyon from the main parking lot for about .25 miles. Pass the water house on your right, and after passing The Kitchen on your right go through the main, green gate.

You will immediately see a short gully to right of the trail that goes up about 25 feet of trail before it hits a large chimney with a giant chockstone placed in it about 20 feet up. George starts at the arete on the left side of the chimney and includes all of the faces to the east along the craggy face.

[Hide Comment] There is what seems to be a third pitch to Lounge Lizards that it is a pretty stout one more wonder that brings you to the top of the spire. Does anyone know what that is? I can't seem to find it on here. May 23, 2012

[Hide Comment] Not really sure what route this is, buts it’s farthest to the left with 4 bolts and then the chains.. above the last bolt before the chains on the left is a huge hornets nest in a crack. Definitely a spot you’d normally put your hand. Be on the lookout! Aug 24, 2022
