Comments: If you are going to the very top prepare to be peppered in the eyes with sand and lichen. The meat of the climb is all before the first anchor.

Comments: I climbed this a couple days and can't stop talking about it. It is definitely not a hand crack, as the guide book suggests. There was about 10 feet of hands and some very thoughtful face climbing and stemming. This is a bold lead but the crux moves are above good gear. FUN.

Comments: This is a good adventure on decent rock. With super thin face climbing and many endurance roof moves, this will definitely hold your attention all the way to the top. Sure, it is overgrown, but that is part of the fun.

Comments: This was my favorite climb at Potrero. I liked it more than 3 Stone Place and El Diablo Sendero. Bold Climbing, great exposure, and a wild setting.

Comments: Heads up.

I had my car broken into at Chuckawalla Wall in St. George Yesterday 20/28/11. My trad rack was stolen as well as a red Rab shell, and a brown OR puffy with Zion Adventure Company Embroidered on it. My girlfriend had her luggage stolen with her purse, all her clothing, jewelry, bike gear, sleeping bag, etc.

It never feels good to be violated in this way, and I want to offer a warning to be careful at some of these trailheads.

I am posting a list of what was stolen separately, but ... more >>

Comments: Just did this route, and started in a right facing corner, nothing like the one in this picture, but it matched the topo and descriptions I read.

Comments: Update for would be dirt bag climbing in Zion

The mosquito cove campground is closed because of the winter floods depositing a thick layer of soft sand that makes driving impossible.

Fear not, there are a few other places nearby to camp on the BLM land. Check out my blog for details on a few choice areas. here
