BETA PHOTO: Prophesy Wall from the road.

Description 

This is a great wall with a lot of multi-pitch moderates. The rock is sandstone with varnish edges. The wall gets winter sun in the afternoon and shade in the morning. You can descend most routes with a single 60M. There are a few good trad/mixed routes, so don't leave your gear at home. The majority of the routes are 5.10 and are up to 250ft long.


Getting There 

Drive north out of St George on Rt 18. (Bluff St) Turn left on a gravel road at mile post 18. Drive 2 miles and turn left onto a dirt road below the cliff.

Featured Route For Prophesy Wall
Looking down from under the second roof at Kip Henrie.

The Roofs of Jericho 5.10c  UT : Saint George : Prophesy Wall
For exact approach look in Rock Climbs of Southwest Utah by T. Goss. Start is behind a bush, just right of a dihedral. 5.9 climbing up varnished edges to crux over the first roof. Excellent belay station for second pitch, however significant rope drag over the first roof for the second ascender. Second pitch is a little more crimpy with a tougher second roof crux. Two rappels down with single rope or walk off if you want a long hike down....[more]   Browse More Classics in UT

If you're looking for a nice local spot to eat at after climbing at Prophecy Wall stop in at the Red Dog Cafe in Dammeron Valley. They're a family run restaurant that specializes in burgers, steaks, and quality BBQ. The homemade pies are great.

There appear to be four bolted variations now to the first pitch of Sticky Revelations -- bright shiny metal everywhere you look, some just an arm's span apart. What a mess!

There's quite a spray of bolts along and below the traverse ledge near Secrets of Fatima, too. Secrets of Fatima is a proud line well separate from its neighbors, but is gym-ification the sad future of this cliff?

To end on a more positive note, we liked Red Dog Cafe too.

We've done a few of the routes on this cliff with all or mostly natural pro, only clipping the occasional bolt, safely, climbing past bolt after bolt next to perfectly bomber gear placements... Sad.

if you are a SLC climber who is looking for good winter climbing, this is a good place to go. 4 hours or less away from SLC, Prophesy wall is a great place to go for a weekender. Super fun climbs and camping spots abound.
And, as they mention in previous comments; there is a lot of bolts here, enough that sometimes its hard to pick out routes. But its still a great wall with a short approach and a lot of options in the .10 range.

FYI - Red Dog Cafe was closed and up for sale when I drove by it February 2013. Not sure what the details are or what happened.
