Arches is home to an extreme variety of desert climbs. You can find one pitch routes and multi-pitch towers, plus, there are some classic aid climbing lines up the famous towers and buttes. If your goal is to get a well-rounded experience climbing around Moab, you'll find it in Arches National Park. As many of you already know climbing in Arches is in jeopardy. New policies are now in effect please educate yourself on what the rules and regulations are and what is and is not in season. WHITE CHALK IS NO LONGER A SUTABLE CHALK PLEASE USE RED CHALK. Available here at Pagan.Besides hosting a ton of arches and natural bridges, Arches National Park is also a host to dozens of spectacular tower routes, adventurous multi-pitch outings, clean aid (no hammers) climbs and some excellent crack climbs. The park is vast, however, many of the climbs are only a short hike from the road. Most people are introduced to Arches by climbing Owl Rock, the owl shaped small tower located in the Windows section of the Park. The route is rated a moderate 5.8 and is only one pitch. It's definitely a good introduction to Arches, if not Moab climbing as a whole. The sandstone in Arches is fun to climb on, but keep in mind it's a bit sandier than the Wingate found at Indian Creek. Even the Navajo sandstone at Wall Street isn't quite as sandy. Don't let that stop you from exploring the rock climbing to be had in Arches though! Come by Pagan Mountaineering to learn more about the routes in the Park: towers, cracks, multi-pitch or single... we've got the beta and the guidebooks. |
