Big Cottonwood Canyon

Big Cottonwood is one of our favorite places to climb because of how easy it is to get to and the great trad and sport routes. Storm Mountain area in particular has some great routes. We mostly have done the many easy trad routes in the area, but also some of the harder sport routes. This is where I did one of my hardest lead, on a 5.12 b.
