Comments: You can find spots to climb in Joe's Valley YEAR ROUND, especially with the recent developments up in Dairy Canyon, where the elevation is around 8,500 ft.
Climbing Dec-Feb is very possible. Some weeks temps are in the 50's and it's all dry, some weeks are below freezing with snow everywhere.
Best time to go is March to May and then again around September through November depending on snow.
I don't really like going in April since all the spring breakers swarm the area, and my favor... more >>

Comments: Thanks to grk10vq for correcting the names for those problems!
Just had the directions to get there and never knew any ratings/names...
What an awesome area! I will definitely be climbing there a lot this season.

Comments: This one is getting a little polished. My feet were seriously squeaking as I tried to smear up the arete.
hoping for some cold, dry weather for better friction

Comments: Dairy Canyon is located 7.6 miles up the road from the fork in the road. If you have a high clearance vehicle, you can take the road on your left up to a little closer parking spot.

Comments: @ Hoboken
Depending on the winter we're having, YES, you can absolutely go and camp in the winter.
I was there on new year's and temps never dipped below freezing at night, and during the day in the sun it felt around 60 degrees. T-shirt weather no problem
Some winter nights can definitely be miserable though, so always keep an eye on weather.

Comments: from the jug out right, I was able to get in a knee bar to get my left hand out to the rail.
Love the compression, classic problem!

Comments: LOVE the crack during the second half of the problem. So much fun using foot/leg jams to help slap your way up.
Sick compression moves, reminds me of Big Bend in Moab

Comments: did the second crimp before the crux break some more?
It seems much smaller/sharper recently....
still fun!

Comments: agreed that the crux is actually when you're trying to find the best way to the lip from the sloper.
Tricky and fun!
starting holds aren't as bad as I expected

Comments: Super sloper uses just the slopers, and one huge hueco at the top
Snake Mouth just uses the pockets to the right of Super Sloper
Same start though.
the holds are easy to identify and the routes are not difficult to pick out at all.
Again, super sloper uses the 2 giant chalked up slopers, Snake Mouth climbs only in the pockets

Comments: Pretty sure the FA for this one belongs to Kevin, the manager at Mtn Sports in Casper.
He is easily one of the best people to talk to(and easy to find at work) about climbing in the area

Comments: Mr High and Mighty Trad Climber,
If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em...
If I were a free solo climber, I'd probably have something clever to say about you placing gear when it's completely un-needed.
Climb on sport climbers!
fantastic horizontal cracks by the way

Comments: First couple moves on this one are incredibly chalked up, but are still awesome jug/pinches.
Really engaging top out

Comments: The Utah Bouldering guide calls this one V4 from the sit start.
I felt as if the sit start made it feel more like a V3 though.
Great problem and exciting top out

By: Emerson Takahashi When: Jun 1, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: I (respectfully) disagree....
The sit start does not bump the V0 to a V3. I do believe it makes it a good standard LCC V1 though.
Perhaps you topped it straight out? My understanding was for the V0-1, you stepped off to the right once you got the highest jug.

Comments: Jason,
check out:
tinyurl.com/7oo8g3s
Utah Bouldering
That book covers climbing in Little Cottonwood, Ogden, Joe's Valley, Ibex and Big Bend.
Season here tends to be March - June and picks up again around September - whenever there's too much snow.
Climbing in the summer is limited since it gets so hot, so you have to drive up to White Pine or find some really good shade.

Comments: That's an awesome vid Bob! Is that trip recent? With the lack of snow here in SLC another trip down south might be needed....

Comments: Not sure if it was the cold weather, but after climbing in the 40 degree weather, I sent this 2nd try.... as opposed to me trying to make a single move and my feet blow off from the super polished knobs on an "average" day.
Awesome problem!
