Description
A relatively solid chunk of rock, this crag is home to numerous lines. This crag is a super massive boulder perched on the hill-side between Farmington Canyon and Steed Canyon. Approach via hiking a spur trail that leads up to the crag. There are a number of fixed anchors around the top of the crag for easy and accessible top roping.
The Farmington Crag refers collectively to the main crag and the island crags surrounding it. Currently there are no trails and so it's a bit bush-wacky. Be very careful of rock fall! While hiking near the long-wall crag East of the main crag yesterday, I dislodged a massive boulder that went thundering down the hill-side! Seeing it make such destruction as it hurdled down the slope was a sobering reminder of how bad things can go wrong when they do go wrong.

Getting There
Get on E 200 S in Farmington and follow it East until you find a dirt road. Park somewhere and hike East up to the fire-break road. Directly across from the fire-break road, you'll find a trail that heads North to Flag Rock. Well before reaching Flag Rock, find the spur trail that heads East to the crag.
