North America, United States, Utah, Climbs in Zion National Park

Publication Year: 1981.

Climbs in Zion National Park. Bill Forrest and I did two new climbs in Kolob Canyon. In June we climbed the Great Rib of Kolob (NCCS VI, F9, A2). We followed the prominent northwest rib of Timber Top Mesa, climbing three distinct pillars; we climbed the second on the right past a roof which is the crux. Above the pillars we followed a chimney system rightwards to reach the mesa crest. In October we climbed the north face of Shintavi Butte (NCCS V, F9, A3). We climbed the obvious crack-and-chimney system splitting the face. Anchor bolts are in situ on this excellent route.
