The title kinda says it all. I’m looking for cliffs or climbs where the tops can be easily accessed for TRS in big or little cottonwood canyons . I’ve been to and know about Ferguson canyon, bongeater, university slabs, the green a slabs to the left of all chalk (whatever that’s called).

So basically, are there any other easily accessible anchors on climbs I can throw laps on after work that I don’t know about? Also dont mind building an anchor if that’s what I got to do. Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

Parley's crags are all top accessible.

Mexican crack is possible though getting to the top is not as breezy as Bongeater. I've heard Crack in the Woods is also solo-able but haven't tried it myself.

Thanks for the responses! I’m definitely going to have to check some of these cliffs out here soon.

I would recommend holding off on Heart Wall, until Fall; it is very hot; 

Funny story about Heart Wall: Very early in my climbing history, my nephew and I were climbing and we decided to TR Heart Wall after looking at it, I waited at the base of the routes, which is (if I remember correctly) on a ledge system 100 or so feet up that you kind of traverse to. My nephew went up top to do the work. As I am waiting for him, my rope bag with rope comes hurtling down the cliff, unbeknownst (word of the day) to me and lands 1 foot away from me. 3 seconds later, I hear my nephew yelling: "ROPE"

I would recommend holding off on Heart Wall, forever; it is very shitty. FTFY

Is it possible to scramble up and TR the coffin?

For Black peeler- I’ve done peeler direct so am somewhat familiar with the area, but which way would you scramble to get to top of black peeler?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
