Access Issue: Climbing is Prohibited Details

December of 2024 Mountain Project received information that climbing has been prohibited for the past 2 years. Violations result in $250 fine. They have mounted trail cameras tp catch violators.

Description

Sorenson Point is the most prominent wall in the canyon. The trail to the top is one of my favorite hikes in the canyon. Rock quality on Sorenson is on par with the rest of the canyon, but there are many climbs to be had. There is lots of bouldering potential on the approach and the cliff band on the left side of Sorenson. Just last week there was chalk on at least two boulder problems. There are many cracks for bouldering and tr/trad on Sorenson.

Getting There

Park on the pullout immediately past the first water crossing.
Cross the road and follow the well worn trail up to the top of Sorenson.

From your car to the top of Sorenson is about a 7-15min hike.
