Description

Millipede Wall is a great bouldering wall in the wash up canyon a bit and is located in front of a tall wall to its right. The Thimble boulder is further up the wash where three washes form into the Millipede Canyon wash.

Getting There

Not sure what this canyon is named, but I always called it Millipede Canyon for the hundreds of millipedes all over the trail. Also Jesus Saves Canyon named in reference to somebody spray painted "Jesus Saves" on a rock in the wash of the canyon. Park at 24th street and hike up Mormon trail for a little, head West into Jesus Saves Canyon then into Millipede Canyon. The Millipede Wall is in the wash in front of a tall wall on the right. Boulder problems established in 2008.
