Description

The Reception Area features a mix of the typical steep sandstone featured face as the canyon narrows. Mostly sport climbs, with a good trad route.

Getting There

This area is the second zone one encounters while heading into the slot canyon, just past the Outpatient Clinic. Located just below the boulder scramble to gain the Doctor's Office proper.
