This climb is very dirty and mossy, could clean up nice, but there is a lot of lichen.   The crux is toping out.

The overhang is what makes the climb, its also the crux.  Good holds and jams await,even a heel hook for the taking.

Two small overhangs with face climbing down low and a crack to boot.  Short but good rock with some lichen on it.  Will clean up over time.

Climb up the boxy buttress feature, past some small plants and several horizontal crack systems to the top of the cliff. There route is characterized by thin, crimpy sections between the juggy horizontal cracks.

The name says it all.  Some reachy but very cool moves to horizontals to a easy finish.  Be careful at the crux, there is potential to fall into the aspen right behind you!

This is an easy, thoroughly enjoyable route that would make a great first trad lead (except for the fact that the beginner trad leader would half to build his or her own anchors).

Climb the right-facing corner. The crux is near the top and topping out.

This is route #16 in the Uinta guidebook and gets a (S 3c) rating.

Fun route up the steepest part of rock at the crag. Make some reachy, crimpy moves to the first horizontal crack/ledge (optional gear here), stand up on large block that's perched on the ledge and get some gear in. Make several crimpy and balancy moves (crux 5.11 R; the R rating doesn't come so much from the length of the fall as the nature of the fall) up the overhang to the third horizontal crack feature under the biggest roof (and more gear). Reach up and right for more holds and cruise your way up to the top.

The finger crack up top is the crux.  Ok climbing.

Really fun route on beautiful rock! Start on the arete and then move left. The climbing is characterized by long reaches to solid little crimpers. It's not too R-rated if you look around a bit for the pro.

If the landing were nice and sandy and flat, this would make a great highball boulder problem. As it is, with tons of jagged boulders, it's a really fun cam-protected, bouldery trad line.

The route starts near the right side of the slightly overhanging face that you pass as you enter into the Recess. To avoid spoling the fun, all I'll say is go up and enjoy the fun moves!

The climb is pretty straight forward with good pro and holds to get you to the top.

A little mossy and dirty, but should clean up with time.  The crux is toward the top. Starts with the crack and then climb the face once you pass the roof.

Climb up the prow, big moves to horizontals. Tie off bushes at the top for a belay.  Best route in the area IMO.
