...per Trevor Oman I have been informed by two sources that the land that contains the Cabin Wall and The Island is now public (NOT QUITE YET). Viewing the tract on OnX, it appears The Conservation Fund has purchased or been transferred ownership of the land. Someone more versed in the minutiae of land ownership may want to confirm this, but I wanted to put it out there to get the ball rolling on updating this page.
The Cabin Wall and the Island are closed. In regard to the rest of the areas in Escalante "Continued use of this area relies on good stewardship and a relationship of trust with the landowner."
Respect local residents, cattle and wildlife by following the posted speed limit of 20 mph.
Minimize user impact by staying on established trails and roads.
Park off the road in established pull-offs or parking areas.
Pack out human waste and garbage.
Keep noise to a minimum.
Portions of Escalante Canyon are active ranching areas. Keep pets under leash control at all times.
No fires and no discharge of firearms.
Camp in established areas only. No camping on private property.
Description
Start on a chossy ledge behind a small tree with tight fingers that quickly turns to tight hands and a pod at the base of a tight dihedral with a finger tips crack. This is the business and will be a test for almost any climber. Protect with 0.2 and 0.3 cams until it widens a bit towards the top of the dihedral. The next section is 2s and 3a and is a bit low angle. The crack then steepens and constricts to 1s and 0.75s. The size varies a bit, so you may be able to place a range of gear. Towards the top the crack gradual shrinks down to 0.3s as the rock quality diminishes a bit until you reach a good hand jam that can be used to clip the properly spaced two bolt anchor. Overall, this is a pretty epic line. Enjoy!
