Approach

The Slab is a small bushy pullout right before one of the largest pullouts on Wall Street 4.9 miles from Hwy 191 on Utah 279 (Potash Road). It is kind of a large tongue to the left of a large gulley, canyon type break in Wall Street.

Route Description

This is kind of a slabby friction climb up a fin of sandstone. Start out left side and come out onto a well bolted face and head for the anchors. I used no gear on the route. It is a 65’ rappel. I found this friction route much easier than similarly rated crack climbing on Wall Street.

Essential Gear

60 meter Rope. Climbing shoes and harness. Sandstone colored chalk, etc.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
