Description 

Thirty feet east of The Kitchen lies George. Multiple routes rating from 5.8 to 5.12 climb up or on either side of an overhanging arete.

The main face of George (10 feet over from the main arete) hosts several nicely bolted routes that are sure to thrill the intermediate level climber.

All routes feature good bolt anchors at the top.

Getting There 

Hike up the canyon from the main parking lot for about .25 miles. Pass the water house on your right, and after passing The Kitchen on your right go through the main, green gate.

You will immediately see a short gully to right of the trail that goes up about 25 feet of trail before it hits a large chimney with a giant chockstone placed in it about 20 feet up. George starts at the arete on the left side of the chimney and includes all of the faces to the east along the craggy face.

Bloody Mary 5.8  UT : Wasatch Range : ... : George

This is the surprisingly fun gaping maw left of George. From the Lounge Lizards p.1 belay, climb straight up the corner till you get to the awkward pod. Climb out of the pod on steep rock with good face holds (with fun exposure!). Stick your arm deep inside when you need to, otherwise just use the flakes and face holds. Belay at a couple of ring anchors either to the left of the top of the route or the right (look down and over a bit)....[more]   Browse More Classics in UT
