Access Issue: Echo Canyon Seasonal Closure: Jan. 1 - second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) Details

The Echo Canyon climbing areas are located within the Henefer-Echo Wildlife Management Area. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources closes all access to the WMA each year from January 1 to the second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) to protect wintering wildlife.

Description

Excellent cobble climbing for the area, and reminds one of Maple.
Pitch #1: A cruxy, but well protected start climbs past holes, pockets, and solid protruding cobbles passing a smooth upper band to a three bolt belay. 5.9, 15-17m.

Location

This is in Bear Hollow in a north south running canyon just west of the Dry Wall. This West facing wall can be best in the mornings during the hot months.

The parking is just past some shrubbery about 75m north of the frontage road and both it and the climbing offers some seclusion...more so than Dry Wall.

Unfortunately, this seclusion does lend itself to camping by non climbers who have tended to trash the area and shoot up the place. Toilet paper can pretty easily be stowed in a plastic bag and disposed of properly. Please come prepared for lugging out some of the trash and aim to leave it better than you find it. You will be appreciated:)!
From the parking and camping fire pit, walk 1 minute up the short west facing hillside to a blackish water streak of the left wall, it is the only route on the wall (until now) with glue in bolts.The exact location and GPS for the route is 41° 0'6.16"N, 111°23'31.73"W
