Yellow Peril Wall

Utah > Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood Canyon

Description

All trad or top-rope climbs that face the east on perfect edging vertical quartzite. Very enjoyable climbing, notwithstanding the lack of protection, the bad belay ledge, and the lack of anchors.

Getting There

Park at Ledgemere, and hike in and west. Go to the last sites, and hike up the talus and cut towards the smooth wall. Scramble (3rd or 4th class) to the belay ledge.
