Climbing Routes

The climbing at Virgin River Gorge is bittersweet. It offers some of the best limestone rock you will ever find, but the atmosphere really distracts from the experience. Located right next to the busy interstate is a draw back for many. This is no crag for beginners or first-time climbers. Most routes are in the 12s and up. There is a sunny side and a shaded side with the prime climbing months from October-April. Parking is at a gravel pullout parking along I-15. Sun Cave is located on the sunny side (north). Drop down the trail next to I-15 and locate the Tyrolean that stretches across the river. If it is gone, you can rock hop across if the water is low. Once you cross the river it is a short scramble up to the obvious cave.
