Description Suggest change

Though Blanding is full of out-doors-people, bolted climbs seem to be rare in the immediate vicinity. Hopefully this will help some of the interested locals to find and share some places to top-rope or to bolt some new climbs.

Getting There Suggest change

Blanding, UT is just over an hour south of Moab, twenty miles south of Monticello and twenty minutes north of Bluff.
