Featured Route For Storm Mountain Picnic Area
Here is the beginning of sin nombre. Awesome Climb.

Sin Nombre 5.9+  UT : Wasatch Range : ... : Bumble Bee Wall
Jam the finger and off finger crack up to the two piton anchor. The second pitch could be combined with the first and both pitches eat up the medium sized nuts. Nice, stout grade and the best route on this wall by a long shot!...[more]   Browse More Classics in UT

Reservoir Ridge is a great place to take the new climber to teach them everything they need to know. There are some Chains on War Clamor that are 15 feet off the ground where you can teach a new climber how to clean and rap while being able to watch and instruct with out having to yell. Allso some good routes to in storm to take a new sport leader.
