| Mary and I climbed in the Wasatch as part of our two-week road trip through UT and ID. We did Outside Corner (5.7, 4 pitches), on the JHCOB Wall, and Steort's Ridge (5.6, 3 pitches). Both were really fun climbing on excellent rock. | |

| I've climbed at dogwood too many times to count. Lots of good routes through the whole canyon! Check out "little Creatures" it's in a cave east of the main wall at dogwood. A little tricky to find, but worth it! | |

| The ugly stepsister. The Quiet Giant. Learned to climb here (S turns) and try to stop by any time I'm back in town. From Brighton to 7-11 this canyon has got it all! | |

| This is my favorite canyon to go rock climbing in the Wasatch. There are many quality quatzite crags to choose from. It is crowded in some places but you'll be alone in areas that require longer approaches. Places that I have climbed at include: Dogwood Crag, Salt Lake Slips, Narcolepsy, Storm Mountain Area, Challenge Buttress, Dead Snag, Glass Ocean, and the S-Curve Area. | |

| Ahh, plenty fine days spent in BCC during my college years. The crags generally look like choss piles, but offer some classics for sure. | |

| Big cottonwood provides some of the best quality sport and trad climbing in the country. I have done many of the offered routes in the past several years and must say that the climbing is world class. Get out there and climb! | |
