climbing access trail program
Since SLCA’s inception in 2002, the organization has played a role in caring for climbing landscapes across the Uinta Wasatch Cache and Manti la Sal National Forests through climbing access trail stewardship. Some of our larger climbing access trail projects that have been completed are highlighted below. Trail stewardship is an ongoing need in order to keep climbing areas open and the natural landscapes protected. We accomplish our trail stewardship by combining volunteer Adopt a Crag opportunities with professional trail crews to ensure high quality and long lasting trails.

Rock climbing and trail use are inherently dangerous. Public access is provided under Utah’s Recreational Use Statute (Utah Code § 57-14). By entering outdoor climbing areas, you voluntarily assume all risks, including injury or death, from hazards such as unmaintained trails, falling rock, failure of fixed climbing anchors, wildlife, and the actions of others. Conditions can change—use caution and obtain proper training.
