Does anyone have info on Lime Kiln Canyon, Sacred Trust Wall? Topo, route descriptions, pictures? There is a blurb on rockclimbing.com but it is not as detailed as I would like.

I found it using the rc.com info. I found two main walls. One west facing with multipitch sport routes. The other wall faced NE with single and multipitch mostly at or above 5.11ish. I wish I had more to share.

I have also heard that the area is amazingly good. And that there is room for 400 routes before the area is completely developed! With many, many multi-pitch routes! This is second hand info but from the limited view I had from the 4wd road I'm a believer. I'm also in SL,UT and would like to help with getting some info out on the subject. I'll try to track down more details on the bits and pieces I have. What is your time table for going down to Lime Kiln?

So I was just reviewing the info on rc.com Its been a while since I've been there but I remember several single pitch 5.10ish climbs on the far right (west) end of the Grail wall. The multi-pitch 11's were in the middle of that gaint wall in the whitish stuff. The rc.com has a good picture of the Sacred Trust wall but only 3 routes on the topo. The routes were good and more or less able to look and see how hard they would be. Kudos to who put them up!!! Great routes lots of work, thank you!!!

Do you know what issue Lime Kiln was in Rock & Ice? We are heading down that way at the end of the week.

No I don't...I was hoping for more response on this forum. Anyone want to speak for the great climbing around Mesquite, NV???

Well, as a 'former' climber, when I drove up the really nice graded road and saw the big limestone wall looming in the distance, to say I was excited is an understatement. The parking is obvious on the left side. And to say there are clear cairns is a big big understatement. Someone (please tell me who) did ALOT of trail development on this crag. There are, literally, cairns as big as a person every 20', besides the very nice limestone (to give you an idea of what's coming) stones to line the path of the trail.

Why isn't this place more developed? This is a big beautiful limestone face that could have multiple 3+ pitch climbs on it.

At most, its a brisk 20 min hike to the base. Merely a good warmup to the climb. Besides that, a basic rental car can get you to the little camp at the base.

No fees, no people, no hassle. One amazing wall.
