Ice Cream Parlor slabsThe Ice Cream Parlor is one of the few places near Moab where you can mix in easier climbing with harder and bolder climbs.

Like Wall Street, "the Parlor" offers an opportunity for beginners or newcomers to the desert to tune up their sandstone skills.  Routes are quite varied and many can be done with small racks or draws

Unlike Wall Street, the climbing is a little more remote.  The drive is a little longer and the road is not paved like Potash Rd, but instead a graded dirt road with a creek crossing that can be for better or for worse.

The rock at the Parlor is Wingate, a.k.a. the good stuff.  Find your focus on the bolted slabs, test your nerve on the wandering crack/slab Good Day to Die (5.9) or crack climb the immaculate Ice Cream Parlor Crack (5.11-).  There are also easy crack climbs, top ropes from existing anchors, off width and a hard face climb.  Plus, the area offers bouldering opportunities and a pillar/tower to climb (Space Tower).

The Ice Cream Parlor is a great spot to go with a guide.  Pagan Mountaineering can book a date for you and your chance to tackle the desert's climbing can become reality.  For more information on the climbing at the Ice Cream Parlor, visit the shop while in Moab.
