Make sure to bring your adventurous side with you to Park City because there are many activities, such as wall climbing, that you may have never tried before. There are many climbing walls situated in the resorts, so it’s very convenient to spend an afternoon giving this activity a try.
Not to worry if you have yet to give wall climbing a try. You are strapped into a safety harness and are assisted by employees who have extensive training in this activity. Our only advice is that you do not look down!
Where to go Climbing
You have five routes to choose from. You can choose to take on all of them or just a few and can easily make this an all afternoon activity!
Park City Mountain Resort
This is the perfect place to start out your adventures in this sport if you’re a beginner. Even the kids can conquer the artificial tower here!
Little Cottonwood Canyon
What a beautiful place to spend the day or night wall climbing! Many of the walls are made of granite and offer both beginner and intermediate climbs. Besides the wall climbing there is also a campground if you choose to utilize it.
Big Cottonwood Canyon
This canyon is the center of history for wall climbing as it has a few of the oldest routes in the city and its surrounding areas, some even dating back to the 1960’s. This area has a big collection of sing-pitch sport routes with a few trad routes scattered
around.
American Fork Canyon
This area is located a good distance away from Park City, but is definitely worth the trip. The spotlight here is mainly bolted routes, so it offers something a bit different than the other wall climbing area and is quickly becoming a popular spot for the sport.
Uinta Mountains
There are only a few rock climbing areas here outside of the professional routes on the thirteen thousand foot summits. It’s worth the 30 minute drive from the city if not for the spectacular views alone!
Guided Tours & Rentals
We have provided a list of companies that will help you get introduced to the sport and even offer the services of a guide to explain the ins and outs that will help you have a safe experience.
