Description
Lambs Knoll is a beautiful area that happens to sit partially on BLM land just outside of Zion NP and private property. This unique location has allowed for the development of great sport cragging on highly featured sandstone.
The majority of the developed climbing is on the western end of the rock formation. Many of the climbs are shaded all or most of the day. A few of the faces (Ram Wall, Ewe Wall) face west and will get some sun by the early afternoon in the summer. With all of the shade and the 6000' elevation, this area is likely best in the spring and fall, though careful route selection and timing could allow for climbing in the sun on colder days. As with all sandstone in this region, the rock can be soft and crumbly, and this is greatly exacerbated by precipitation. Avoid climbing here after rain to keep the routes intact.
The sectors described on here are generally very close together, and it is very easy to hop between almost any of the crags throughout the day.
This area is partially covered the Todd Goss guidebook, though there are number of climbs missing and very minimalist descriptions of most of the existing ones.
