Rock climbs in the area

Postby CarbonCruiser on Fri Jan 22, 2010 10:21 am

What rock climbs do we have in the area. I have done some bouldering up in the price recreation area and up joes valley, but I would like to find some local trad/sport climbs. Are there any multipitch routes in the area? Can anyone recommend a book that has climbs in the area?

Here's a list of some climbing areas near here, but it looks like most of the ones listed for Carbon County are bouldering routes. There's a fair amount of climbing routes in the Swell, but the details on the site are slim as far as how to find most of them.

I saw one small climb near the end of Airport Road, where somebody has bolted a large balanced boulder, and if there's one then there are probably other climbs in the area. The boulder is located at N 39° 41.198' W 110° 43.643', and below are a couple of photos of it.
