Shady Lane

Utah > Wasatch Range > Central Wasatch > Big Cottonwood Canyon

Description

This is hidden gully that one can see before the leaves sprout on the trees that shield it. It is 1 gully past Autumnal Wall, and consists of 5.10+ bolted routes. It is shady and has no approach. Slightly overhanging rock with tricky moves are the game here.

Getting There

Just before Storm Mtn. Picnic Area park at Stairs Gulch, and cross the stream aiming for the last obvious gully. Upstream is 1 mini-gully. Enter and climb.
