Periodic Table Rock Climbing

A massive fin of clean limestone that sits above the popular periodic springs hike. Most climbing faces west and hosts morning shade, sun after 1:30pm. New development has some good afternoon/all day shade options. Likely the best piece of stone in all of the Salts. Potential for 100s of routes, ranging from 45 to ~250 feet, with a pitch that varies 10 degrees from vertical in both directions. Summer of 2023 this massive fin has begun to see development with over 35 routes of superb quality. This elevation holds the best limestone in the canyon and can be found down valley high up on the ridges in such areas as Shattered Sanity & The Swift Stronghold (*in works). 

00. The Guardians - Afternoon Shade, just before you enter Periodic Table. The big fin looming over the creek and the streaked wall behind it. Long steep bouldery pitches on thin blue streaked limestone.

01. H20 - Where the main fin runs into the creek, and the easiest access of the entire Table. There are two panels that could host up to 10 routes. Great rock next to the river in a surreal setting. Several harder routes here in the 5.13 range.

02. Wavelength Wall - First bolted feature after hiking around from the fixed line. Wavy slightly overhanging wall with serious potential for hard climbing on wild steep streaks. Currently hosts a handful of routes from 5.8 - 5.13

03. Helium - Dead vertical to slightly overhanging walls of bulletproof limestone. Thin, hard, steep climbing 5.13-5.14. Below the sidewalk. A couple easier warm ups to the right for the harder routes here too. 

04. Precious Metals The rock gets more featured and is some of the best on the entire formation as you move to the upper "Tier" above the sidewalk that divides these two middle walls. Expect "French" quality limestone on par with the good stuff at The Grail and the Wailing Wall. The best and concentrated climbing of what the Periodic table has to offer. 

05. Free Radicals - The Hard King lines as of this writing. Expect vertical to slightly overhanging 30+ meter pitches on this behemoth. Best hard climbing on the Periodic table. Lots of room for more lines in this section.

06. The Darkroom - All day shade on the other side of the fin from Free Radicals, Hard streaked flowstone. Currently in development.

07. Zero Proton Zone - Shorter & moderate climbing looming below the big upper multipitch headwall. Expect more scrappy routes here but more featured, think big pockets and big wavey incuts with some harder lines in-between.

Plutonium Playground - The last tier of the fin, featuring slightly off vertical climbing with some roofs to negotiate on the way up, rock turns to more gray limestone, but still looks very good and hard. Currently no routes have been established here, Could likely host some hard single pitch routes and some fun 2-3 pitch routes in an amazing setting.
