Access Issue: Mt. Nebo Wilderness on south side of Santaquin Canyon. Details

The Mount Nebo Wilderness boundary parallels approximately 100-200 yards south of the Santaquin Canyon road from the mouth of the canyon to Tinney Flat Campground. Wilderness rules blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regul… apply within the wilderness area (nothing mechanized or motorized allowed, including power drills).

Access Issue: Access Closure Details

The canyon is closed to all traffic until further notice as of 11/29/23 due to construction. The NFS has hired a contractor to repair the road and they don't want people up the road. The contractor has not given the NFS an end date.

Description

Two pitchs of steep Ice.

Location

Hike about .40 miles from the gate keeping your eyes on the South wall until 3 routes come into view. Climb the gully. Automatic Control Theory is the center formation. There are trees to the right hand side of the ice for rappel.
