Description

*BE SURE TO GO AFTER 3PM DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, ANYTHING EARLIER IS TOASTY*

Afternoon and evening shade.

Quartzite/Welded Tuff climbing in the juniper and pine trees. All sport climbing, single pitch about 60'. This area has a lot more friction than the basalt crags near by and is mostly technical face climbing. Cliff starts going into the shade around 2 pm and is fully shaded by around 4 pm. Crag sits around 6,000' elevation so temperatures are typically 15+ degrees cooler than St George. There is also great bouldering below the cliff band.

Getting There

From St. George head north on SR 18 till you hit the Pine Valley turnoff a few miles outside of Veyo. Head east towards Pine Valley. Take the left hand dirt road 2.6 miles up the highway at an unmarked road post ("8 mile road"). Follow this dirt road (4x4 IF it has been raining!!) for approximately 1 mile. Look for a left hand turn shortly after the pond that makes a small loop to turn around, there are rock cairns on the right hand side that mark a faint trail with cairns all the way up. Follow the trail west to the cliff line. Approach time from here is approx. 12-15 minutes.
