Grand View Canyon Rock Climbing

The rock is a type of limestone called dolomite. Most routes tend to be vertical with bulges. It I can be fractured and loose but also has sections of bulletproof limestone that is fantastic. Good trad gear skills are needed. The rock has excellent friction but can also have some rope shredding edges. Long slings are necessary on most routes to avoid rope damage. Access is very short but there are times when you are hiking on edge of highway, so look out for traffic! The climbs get morning shade and afternoon sun.
