EWolfe Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 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! Patsy Cline the dreadlock Dog, holdin' down the tarp for us: 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: Old Dogs get special priviledges: Shot this panorama on the way out Sunday: Big Panorama Th cliff is about 1/2 mile long, many of the walls have quality routes stacked!
