About Prophesy Wall

Prophesy Wall is a compact varnished-sandstone crag north of St George off Route 18 — multi-pitch routes up to 250 feet on well-varnished holds, in the 5.7-5.11b range. Winter sun in the afternoon, morning shade — a genuine year-round crag with careful seasonal selection. Iron pipe landmark for the parking pull-off; dispersed BLM camping. Same 48h wet-sandstone minimum.
