Description Suggest change

This is a small mainly top rope area just up the scenic bypass road road in Salt Creek Canyon. It is just before Pole Canyon on the left when coming from route 132. There are 7 routes just off the road. Mainly a top rope area with 2-4 bolts per route. The rock seems to be volcanic and pretty hard, though I am unsure exactly what type. Most routes are short 25-30 feet long. Great place for beginner climbers. This area is listed as Choke Cherry Dike in the Maple guide.

Getting There Suggest change

This is area is located just outside Nephi UT off of Route 132 on Nebo Loop scenic byway. Zero approach as the climbs are right off the road.
