CLEAR CREEK CANYON ROUTES

If it’s your first time rock climbing in Clear Creek Canyon, check out some of our below route and crag recommendations. Click on the walls or routes to be redirected to the Mountain Project page with photos of the routes.
Trenchtown 5.4 (2-3 pitches): This root, located at Tiers of Zion is a great option for people wanting to push higher into the vertical world and make a great first multi-pitch adventure.
Yellow Dog Dingo 5.6 (4 pitches): Yellow Dog Dingo is a great, low-angle route with good holds, that gives you some of the highest views in the tunnel 5 area.
Black Gold 5.7+ (4-5 pitches): Located directly above the creek, Black Gold is a fun adventure for someone wanting to push the exposure for the day.
Playin Hooky 5.8 (4 pitches): Playin’ Hooky is an agreed upon classic for a reason! This route offers plenty of classic, featured slab climbing on bullet rock. This route is not to be missed, sign up for it today!
Furlough Day 5.9 (4 pitches): If you have already done Playin’ Hooky, then Furlough Day is a great way to bump the difficulty up for the day. This route is a two-pitch variation start to Playin Hooky, so you can still finish with the upper two top pitches of Playin’ Hooky if you would like to finish the day that way!
People’s Choice 5.10d (3 pitches): If you like steep dihedral stemming, this route is for you! Begin with some cruxy slab (that can be avoided) and finish with an ever-steepening wall in a giant dihedral with great exposure!
Gneiss Roof 5.10d (4 pitches): An uber-classic, but also a big challenge for the day with multiple cruxes, including a final headwall crux to try and pull over the final roof!
Wild Child 5.11a (4 pitches): For the more experienced sport climber, this is a great route for the list! It starts with steep and juggy roof moves and ends with a more delicate and crimpy 5.11 pitch to overcome to top out the wall.
