Maple Canyon?

I've never been to maple and i'm wondering how the sport climbing is in the winter? too snowy?

If the sun is shining, you can get away with climbing at the Eco-terrorist wall, or some of the other climbing near the mouth of the canyon.

I have definately post-holed my way through the snow to climb on some cold cobbles during the colder times of the year in maple canyon.

Yeah, too snowy. It can be very popular for ice climbing though.

The road is typically impassible past the mouth of the canyon (although that doesn't prevent gobs of subaru drivers from trying it and getting stuck). A walk-in deters most folks looking for sunny rock climbing walls.

Is neat to see in the winter, though.

Cheers.

Echo Canyon is probably your best Cobble-climbing bet in UT this season. the dry wall is right by a road.

Man, if it warms up I'd head after Escape Butress in AF canyon. If I remember right it gets very climbable due to its angel of sunlight. All them .10's with big 'ol jugs make my arms pumped just thinking about them.
