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

Short route with the crux being the first 3 bolts before it turns from steep to slab. This route is the next set of bolts 4 feet to the left of Maple Jones.

There has been a lot of development at Bear Hollow and plenty of confusion on MP because of it. If anyone has more info on the route I would love to update this.

Location

There is a steep trail leading up from behind the fire pits. This climb will be directly in front of you at the top of this trail to the left of the bush and above the the big hole in the rock.

Protection

5 bolts + 2 for anchor.

If my memory serves, these bolts were expansion bolts rather than glue ins. Seems to be some confusion here regarding which route is which. As of posting, this is the route immediate left of Maple Jones (9). Lower crux, getting around the second or third bolt, but it backs off pretty well after that. Oct 24, 2023
