A beautiful canyon with pink Precambrian granite wall and every variety of cracks you can imagine. Most of the wall will be 80-120 feet with a few areas like the Power Tower area that has 400 foot walls. This is a committing climbing area if you decide to rap down into the climbs. You can toprope most since your setting up anchors at the top which is a great way to give a climb a try before you commit to the rappel and pulling your rope. The Platte river runs through and is controlled by the Pathfinder dam just up river. A few times per year they will let out enough water to cover the first five feet or so of some of the lower climbs. The water will go down in a week or two and there are always higher climbs to climb. 6 Hours from Salt lake City or 5 hours from Boulder. Check out Sloan's Country store for showers and to refill your water.
