The Echo Canyon climbing areas are located within the Henefer-Echo Wildlife Management Area. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources closes all access to the WMA each year from January 1 to the second Saturday in April to protect wintering wildlife.
Description
Not sure of the true name of this developed crag. It has been around for a number of years now. If anyone has further info, please share. Like most of the crags in the Echo Canyon Area, routes benefit greatly from more traffic to clean them up. A nice overhanging wall with black streaks featuring a handful of good looking lines. Wall gets sun until about 3:30 or so depending on the season.
Getting There
Approach as for the Choss Cave. When the trail crosses the stream for the 2nd to last time, look for a faint trail with a slanted down tree parallel to the trail on the left. Follow the faint trail west and up the hill and scramble to the base of the crag. Routes can be seen on this formation from the trail by looking NW at the last major rock formation high on the west hillside

Thanks for the comments. A 12D Walter Anyan FA route could easily be 13a.
I agree with the 12b grade for Mr Muscles, but in posting these up I wanted to attach the original FA rating and let the community provide feedback.
Please feel free to add grade ratings to each climb so it shakes out in the end.
