Description

I have been told that these routes are Mixed Routes. I spotted each bolt and top chain.

This wall is right off the road. Approach time, 0 minutes, belay in the road.

Getting There

From the last stop sign in town, drive up canyon 4.2 miles to the 1 lane bridge. It's the wall right on the road.

This wall is just down canyon from the 1 lane bridge where the avalanche comes down each year. The routes are right on the road.

[Hide Comment] I grew up in Santaquin and did most of these routes many times. #1 is a fun overhanging 11b. #2 wasn't there back in the day but wouldn't be much harder since that upper section is slab. #3 is probably a 10b or c and is a really good route. #4 is a newer route I onsighted shortly after someone added it. It seemed to be in the 11b/c range. #5 is a pretty good 11d that is slightly overhung and powerful in the middle and turns into a kind of scary slab up top. I've done #6 only once and don't remember it being that great. Sep 19, 2012
