China Wall is Logan Canyon's premier limestone destination, offering everything from mellow sport routes to world-class cave climbing.

Access is straightforward, but respect the seasonal closures and pack out your trash.

Perfect for building your sport climbing skills on quality limestone. The China Slab routes offer great movement and solid bolting, while Praise the Lowered on the main wall gives you a taste of the steeper terrain. These routes will keep you busy for multiple sessions.
