Sunshine Wall Moab Climbing Guide

Sunshine Wall offers some of the most accessible sport and trad climbing in Moab, with quality routes across multiple difficulty ranges and several distinct sub-areas. The wall gets morning sun and afternoon shade, making it a solid choice for moderate temps, and the approach is relatively mellow compared to some of Moab's more adventurous crags. Access is straightforward, but respect private property boundaries and pack out your trash.

Classic Routes

The must-do routes that define the character of Sunshine Wall. These span multiple grades but all offer quality movement, good rock, and the kind of climbing that keeps people coming back to Moab.

Routes

Beginner Routes (5.6–5.8)

Perfect for building confidence on Moab sandstone or getting your legs under you after the drive down. These routes offer good movement without being overly pumpy, and there's a nice mix of sport and trad options if you want to practice gear placements.

Routes

Intermediate Routes (5.10–5.11)

Step it up with some technical movement and sustained sections. These routes will test your footwork and endurance while still being reasonable objectives for solid 5.9 climbers looking to push their grade.

Routes

Hard Routes (5.12+)

For when you're feeling strong and want to test yourself on some of the area's more demanding lines.

Routes

Boulders

Good options for warming up, cooling down, or when you want a break from the rope. The boulder problems here range from casual to challenging and offer a different perspective on the area's rock quality.
