Description Suggest change

Roadside, south-facing sandstone crag with a mix of trad and sport routes, roughly 5.9 - 5.11ish. 5 minutes north of town and decent for a zero-approach crag. Not responsible for any of the FAs, so the list below is based on our group's day there. If anyone who is responsible for the routes or is more well-versed in the area, please feel free to edit.

There are other cracks in between the sport climbs that you could likely climb off the same anchors. Lots more to explore, rock stability-dependent.

Getting There Suggest change

Heading North on 89 out of Kanab you'll pass the Port of Entry on the right. Exactly 1.0 miles later after a gentle left bend in the road, the crag will come nearly to the road on the right side. Pull onto the shoulder and walk 30 seconds up the hill on the right. Hard to miss. The furthest right route is somewhat around the corner near a large juniper.
