I cannot say I ever got into rock climbing. Not too big on heights. But I have seen some amazing views from that area.Utah's kind of a mixed bag. I grew up in WI so going from lush green to a high desert is a real adjustment. Also, going from a place scraped mostly flat by glaciers to a place with the kind of topography of Utah is a big change too. So, it's brown and smells like dust a lot here but the views and rock climbing are amazing!
