Division Bell Crack

5.8, Trad, 60 ft (18 m),  Avg: 2 from 2 votes
FA: Layne and Mallory Potter, 7/18/00
Utah > S Central Utah > San Rafael Swell > San Rafael Swel… > Swaseyland

Description

Climb the striking finger to hand crack for about 60 feet to two bolts. The crack continues up to the top of the formation, but it looks like good 5.10+/5.11 climbing. You have the option of rapping at the two bolts, or continuing on to the top and rapping from anchors there.

Either way, this is a fun/safe Moab type of climb.

Location

On the road a few hundred yards behind Swasey's Cabin.

Protection

As many cams from fingers to bigger than fists that will make you feel warm and fuzzy. You can easily see the crack the whole way from the base.

Division Bell Crack. I am not sure if the roof has been climbed... probably.

Tough approach. Climb the obvious crack.
