Climbers interested in a neat newish sport climbing area in the Vermilion Cliffs up House Rock Valley Road. Great for parents of kids and 5.13 climbers alike. Easy approach. https://www.mountainproject.com/area/116685072/buckskin-gulch. The limestone has cool nodules and sea creatures along the routes. Dispersed camping allowed, and even bathrooms at the Buckskin trailheads nearby. And of course deluxe hotel and refreshments at the Lees Lee's Ferry Lodge at Vermilion Cliffs. Kyran Keisling has done a phenomenal job putting in a clean fun climbing area much like the Pit. Jughalls and crimpfests abound.
