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
Longest route on the wall. Start on the right side of a "bridge" between 2 huecos. Climb up to the sandstone ribbon which makes a bulge, which is the crux. Not super hard, but definitely need to read it right to get passed it. Involves a good undercling, an iffy crimp, and some awesome hidden jugs. After that, cruise up and right to a huge hueco/ledge which is very dirty, watch you don't kick too much down on your belayer. Kind of some funky moves getting off the ledge and up to the next bolt, then a few easy moves to the chains. Had a lot of fun on this one.
