Rock Climbing Information for Salt Lake City

More Info Salt Lake City Climbing

Quartzite, granite, limestone

Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front in general serve as a grand wooded oasis in the Utah desert. So you won’t be climbing red rock, but quartzite and limestone, and instead of duney vistas and eerie rock formations, you’ll be scaling boulders and walls among pine trees.There are literally hundreds ...

More Info American Fork Canyon

Limestone

American Fork Canyon is a very modern climbing destination, the result of conscious local effort to develop unique and challenging climbs. The real attraction here is sport climbing and since the canyon is only about a half an hour from Salt Lake City, the climbs are in high demand on the weekends. ...

More Info Ferguson Canyon

Quartzite

A nice, shady canyon in the summer and rather small, Ferguson Canyon is also prime for ice climbing in the colder season. The routes range from short scrambles up cliffs tricky and easy both to crawling up upside-down staircases. The Watchtower is the most popular crag in the Ferguson, a largely tra...

More Info Lone Peak Cirque

Granite

If a rather massive and convoluted hike to the Cirque itself doesn't bother you, this is a pretty fine series of climbs. The range of difficulty is wide, from sweet and simple 5.4s to the exposed thin aid of a 5.12 or few. The Question Mark Wall is the best known . . . and toughest . . . of the Cirq...

More Info Mount Olympus

Quartzite, granite

Mount Olympus's routes aren't too tough, but they are often very long. One route can take all day and the protection is pretty thin. Mount Olympus is simply a good lot of rock. The West Slabs are the most popular route as a broad slab that can be climbed anywhere and with a thousand variations. And ...

More Info Parley's Canyon

Quartzite

The routes tend toward the short and tend toward the tougher range, 5.9 to 5.11, with many of the difficulties crowding toward that 5.11. A...

More Info Red Rock

Quartzite

This suburban crag of weathered quartzite is a good starting series of climbs to start beginners on, provided they're accompanied by non-beginners! This is all about sport climbing, although trad is possible. The routes are well-bolted (sometimes over-bolted), and even labeled. How user-friendly can...

More Info Rock Canyon

Pegmatite, granite, some limestone

Rock Canyon could be American Fork Canyon's less intimidating little brother. The routes are great fun and there's plenty of them for trad and sport climbers both, but they don't have quite that same hair-raising edge. Which isn't to say that this is a simple hike up the rock face. Some of these are...

More Info The Cottonwood Canyons

Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood Canyons are the playgrounds for the Salt Lake City metroplex.
