Multi-Pitch Climbing in Clear Creek Canyon

Playin Hooky (5.8) is a must do if you can climb 5.8 and want to climb multi-pitch! This 4 pitch route is super fun and has beautiful views over the creek. Great for a half-day adventure.

Trenchtown (5.4) is an excellent entry point to multi-pitch climbing. At the Tiers of Zion area on Lookout Mountain, we climb 2-3 pitches of 5.4 terrain ending on an exposed feeling vertical and juggy final pitch.

There are plenty of other options for multi-pitch climbing in Clear Creek Canyon from 5.6 - 5.10 and even harder! If you are interested to challenge yourself, let me know and we can customize the day for you.

Half Day (2-4 hours)

A half day is usually plenty for an individual climber. For 3 or 4 climbers, a full day is a better option. For an individual a half day could involve a multi-pitch climb like Playin’ Hooky (5.8) or Trenchtown (5.4) or single pitch climbing.
