Access Issue: Echo Canyon Seasonal Closure: Jan. 1 - second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer)
Details
The Echo Canyon climbing areas are located within the Henefer-Echo Wildlife Management Area. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources closes all access to the WMA each year from January 1 to the second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) to protect wintering wildlife.
Description
This tower gets stars due to position, views, and the old saying that one tower is better than four walls. Wicked Witch is the naughty girl standing in the middle of the group.
Pitch #1: After the short approach and having closed the gate behind you, walk around the tower until you see the line on the north side. Climb up past about 9 bolts to a cruxy bulge at her neck until you are able to stand on top of the Wicked Witches head. 5.9+, 13m.
Expect chossy loose conglomerate at least until the hoards discover these witches and clean her up. The glue-in "unique and special" bolts are absolutely bomber.
