Wasatch Range 

The Wasatch Range stretches from near the Idaho border south beyond Mt. Nebo.

The range contains several major canyons, and a lot of minor canyons. Logan Canyon and American Fork Canyon (among others) are limestone; Big Cottonwood Canyon is quartzite, and Little Cottonwood Canyon is granite-like quartz monzonite.

Superb climbing in all four of these. In addition Bell's Canyon, near Salt Lake City, and Rock Canyon, near Provo, deserve mention.

Extreme Unction 5.10a  UT : Wasatch Range : The Watchtower

To find this route, follow the first main Watchtower wall around to the right into a corner and look for the upside-down staircase between two large chimmneys....[more]
