Description Suggest change

This is the large northeast facing slab visible from Interstate 15 and is roughly 200 feet high at it tallest point with an arching left-facing corner system on the right a prominent landmark.

The climbing here is characterized by low angle slab climbing with embedded pebbles and cobbles and is entirely bolt protected. Some of the older routes still have their original 1/4" bolts so be warned and be careful; newer routes have 3/8" or larger bolts and tend to have closer-spaced protection.

  • Perhaps best to think of this as adventure sport - bolts near the crux but potentially sizeable run-outs at times; it helps to be solid at the grade.

Getting There Suggest change

From the turn-off head back east then north following the road along the train tracks through a narrow gap

The approach road, Mormon Slab

until reaching a small parking area on the left that will fit two vehicles. 

  • The approach takes less than 5 minutes from the parking area.
