Comments: A great area to go climbing in! So much potential. I can only imagine what could be developed if the ban on bolting were lifted. Great rock. Bolt spacing varies greatly from route to route, and it's not just by difficulty.

Comments: What makes you think its closed? I have gone night climbing there a few times with friends in the past. Actually a lot of fun. It would be fun to bolt some routes, get a Ross-park type area going for beginning leads.

Comments: I was climbing that shale the first few times and it was a pain. Then I realized instead of parking on the East side of paramount, you park on the South side, or directly below it and follow a trail that wraps around to the southern most climbs... A lot easier this way.
I haven't been to too many places outside of Utah and Idaho for climbing, but I have noticed the bolts on most of these routes are quite a bit more spread out than a lot of the newer, surrounding areas.
The rock is nice to clim... more >>

Comments: The closed in feeling made this easy for me to concentrate. Love the crack feature with the occasional hold on the face. Great climb! May want to stick clip the first bolt, as a fall could send you off the small ledge.

Comments: This was my first outdoor climb ever... Since then I have been spoiled by newer routes, more closely bolted. When I come back to this one I just think at how spread out the bolts are! Still a fun, easy lead. Just don't fall :)

Comments: Like the routes next to it, the middle part is the challenge. Spread your footing out for a great break on your arms. Tried once using the crack, and didn't use it the next time. Either way is fun.

Comments: Balance through slopers to the crack, and just power through. Definitely felt more like a 5.10a than a 5.9+. A good pump, but yes, kind of awkward.

Comments: Great bolt spacing, like all the other routes here. Don't be tempted to stem left too much, key holds around the 3rd and 4th bolts with spread footing will keep you from feeling like you need to stem left too much. Decent stance to clip into the anchors from.

Comments: Great lead! Nice and short. I would say 5.8 for sake of the last movement to the anchors. Kind of a pain to clean for beginners.
