Thread: Rock Climbing - Rock Canyon (Provo UT)

    Rock Climbing - Rock Canyon (Provo UT)

    These are from awhile ago, but I figured I might as well post them up since I have a question anyway My roommate has been into rock climbing for awhile, he does it with his older brothers a lot, but he just got my other roommate and I into it a lot. We even bought harnesses and are looking for climbing shoes after 2 times of doing the real stuff (none of that pansy indoor stuff jk).

    Heres the question: We're planning on making a trip down to St. George, UT to maybe do a little wheeling/camping and were wondering if anyone knows if there are any good spots to do some climbing and if it'll be warm enough by mid-Feb.

    Onto the pics...

    She had fun for her first time out...


    It's a fun sport, I hope to get into it more. Feel free to post up some pics if you have them.

    Oh and one more question to go along with the climbing, does anyone happen to know of any caves around there?

    Oh trust me I have a fear of heights too. Once I got to the top I was freaking out when it hit me that I had to rappel back down. I've rappelled before, just never off the face of a rock. It's so fun though, I just wish it would stop snowing up here so we didn't have to go to the indoor stuff. It's fun too but nothing is as fun as being on the real rocks.

    Got to love climbing in street shoes. I hated those days. Haven't gone climbing in about 2 years now. Last stint of climbing was here:



    Climbing ranges from 5.1-5.10C with 36 different routes.

    My first climb was a solid 25 feet. Didn't want to repel down, so I climbed back down. Highest climb was 200 I think. Everytime I climb, my eyes keep checking my knots, lol.


    Good site to find areas to go, www.summitpost.com

    Yeah, the kid that showed us everything has climbing shoes, he just didn't bring them that time. I'm probably going to be buying some in the next month. That looks like a sweet place, where is it?

    Vantage, Wa. St.

    I bought a used pair and they've worked great. Nothing like trying to cram your feet into a shoe meant to be a size to small.

    Was into it most my life, then came children. I miss it ! Most of it in Yosemite, and Caleveras Dome. It almost goes hand in hand with wheelin. Wether your doing 5.8's, 5.10s or 5.12s it is the ultimate rush. Looks like fun!
