Drove 5 hours back to Utah tis last weekend to sample some more of the fine limestone outside St. George. The rock is immaculate, all the holds natural.
The first day we went to The Cathedral, a huge cave with two full arches. West facing, it stays shady until 7PM!

The climbing is mostly 5.12 to 5.13 range, with some great .11's and a few .10's. It is steep, techy and pumpy - classic limestone.
On the long rests between burns, I found a natural bonsai and did a rock garden around it, Rodman did creative rock stacking.
We burned a couple of .12a's on Sunday, but were pretty trashed from Saturday. Day-on, day-off is the way to go here. Next trip will be 3 days.
I snapped this from the Wailing Wall:

Shot this panorama on the way out Sunday:

Th cliff is about 1/2 mile long, many of the walls have quality routes stacked!
