Description

The Right Side of Mormon Hollow includes everything to the right of the stone staircase behind the Dark Star Boulder. This area includes four areas/buttresses.

The Original Sin Buttress is the first to the right of the staircase and is made up of a few trad/mixed routes and one bolted rou route on the far right. Grades range from 5.7 to 12a.

Next is the Janitors Buttress, which can be identified by the large arching crack that splits the buttress. The easiest sport climb at Mormon is on the far left of this area. Grades range from 5.6/7 to 5.12 with a mix of sport and trad/mixed.

The Priapism Buttress comes next. Another large diagonal crack splits this buttress just the the right of the very classic 12a sport route, Priapism. Grades range from 5.8 to 12a. Half of this buttress is on private property (not DCR) and is closed each spring from raven nesting.

Finally, the Spring Wall is set a bit away for the last section and contains a couple top ropes.

Getting There

When you arrive at the Dark Star Boulders, head right and the cliff side trail will lead you past all of the areas.
