Rock Climb
Box Canyon features routes from 20-500 feet on solid, grippy limestone. Some say it's sharp. I say it's fantastic. It seems like most of the climbing is of a slabby nature, although there are some steeper lines in the james bond area. The multipitch routes are great. Enjoy, and tread lightly so we can keep these routes and hopefully get the ban lifted in the future.Courtesy of mountainproject.com
