Notice: as of 2020, climbing in Capitol Reef requires a permit: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/118154210/capitol-reef-pilot-climbing-and-canyoneering-permit

Description Suggestion
Capitol Reef National Park has a fair selection of good Wingate crack routes. The only detractions are sometimes long approaches, and an NPS moratorium on any new anchor bolting. There is also a moderately good bouldering area about fifteen minutes to the west of the park outside Bicknell.

Permits are now required for climbing and bouldering within the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park. Free day-use permits can be obtained in person 24 hours a day at a self serve kiosk outside the visitor center or online at: https://www.nps.gov/care/planyourvisit/rockclimbingandbouldering.htm

In efforts to better organize the top levels of Utah's areas, I request we move this into:
Utah > Central area.
