PRINT: Bouldering in Halloween Town, Joe's Valley

Halloween Town

Utah > Central Utah > Joe's Valley > Left Fork

Access Issue: Don't climb on wet rock! Details

Attention:

Don't climb on wet rock! Sandstone is a porous rock type that can absorb a lot of water. It can lose up to 75% of its strength while wet, making it easy to snap off holds and irreparably damage classic climbs. Wait 48 to 72hrs after precipitation. If the ground is still damp then the rock is still wet. A great way to check for precipitation history before traveling to Joe's is to go to this site-

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.

Description

Across the river from the large pullout at the beginning of the Left Fork, Halloween Town offers varied, harder problems from V3 to V12. Situated on a steep hillside, this area still sees less traffic than other LF area.

Getting There

The big pull out is located 1 mile up the Left Fork on the left hand side of the road. Cross the river toward the north side of the pull out. A trail and cairns are present.
