Having spent a considerable portion of my early life as a rock climber, I still have a tendency to look at rocks and cliffs with an eye to climbing routes. There are so many exceptional cliffs in Rock Canyon, in the Wasatch Front, above Provo, Utah, that almost any place you look there are interesting potential climbs. These rocks are on the north side of the Canyon right at the entrance. They are hardly ever considered by the fair-weather climbers because there are better climbs in different parts of the Canyon. Additionally, the uphill sides of these rocks are almost level. Also, the rocks are a fairly steep climb up the slope and there are better rock faces a short distance away that start practically on the trail up the Canyon. I have seen them used to establish a Tyrolean traverse between the two slabs.
