So I just moved out to Salt Lake City. Does anyone have any favorite routes or boulder problems in the area that I HAVE to do?

take a rope to rap off the mini-tower on the way up the ridge.

Thanks for the suggestions. It seems I have my hands full with all of the climbing to do out here. Acer: I moved out here to go to grad school at the U. I'm studying bioengineering.

I was out there for a week and did some climbing in Little Cotton Cayon. The bouldering was great. Good luck.
