Camp and Climb in Maple

June 26th, 2006 Summit

Getting Ready to ClimbIt was my wife’s birthday last week and so we decided to go camping in Maple Canyon. It is a beautiful canyon–full of great hiking and killer climbing. We mostly just relaxed but I did have the chance to teach my wife how to lead climb on an easy 5.4 that lead to the Trash Compactor Wall. She did a great job. Next time we will come back and do some of the routes inside the Trash Compactor. They looked really fun but we ran out of time.

While we were there we did have a chance to hike up Box Canyon (.7 miles up the canyon) and see some of the routes that have been set there. It is an impressive looking area; however, there are access issues. So, definitely visit the canyon sometime, but be sure to not visit too often and be a courteous guest while you are there.
