Come climb with us in Big Cottonwood Canyon! We will be climbing in an area called the Salt Lake Slips. This area provides a range of climbing routes for all grades and experience levels. Whether you are a veteran climber or just getting into leading, this area has climbs for you!
I will be bringing a rope and quickdraws. Please bring the gear you need to climb.
Salt Lake Slips is about 2.45 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon on the left side. To learn more about the area you can check it out on mountain project: https://www.mountainproject.com/area/105739386/salt-lake-slips
HOW TO GET THERE:
We will meet at the Storm Mountain picnic area at 10 a.m. If you can't make it at exactly 10, feel free to meet up with the rest of the group later in the day.
Enter through the Storm Mountain Picnic Area, cross the bridge, and walk west past the Storm Mountain Amphitheater.
Go up the hill, turn south, and follow the trail (turning southwest) to the top of the gully above the Slips. Descend the gully to the routes.
During very low water periods, you can park on the road opposite the climbs and safely cross the river. However, crossing the river at any other time is extremely dangerous; people have died attempting it. Do not setup Tyrollean traverses to facilitate crossing the creek.
