Do you love being low to the ground and pulling really hard moves? Well my friend, do I have the place for you!!! Low Ball Land or alternatively The boulder field, is located about 100 metres back from Channel Drive and features some really unique climbing that is both powerful and unorthodox, a combination that results in some extremely fun climbs. Low balls tend to earn their grades. This is due to the fact that your packing a v-whatever into 4 to 6 moves. So typically a v5 low ball will have harder moves then a v5 high ball, so establishing yourself in a grade here will make you a stronger all-around boulder.

Snow Canyon State Park is in the area of the city of Saint George, perhaps an hour from the heart of Zion National Park. This large state park boasts a little of everything, from short sport clip-ups to mixed multi-pitch routes or even long, infrequently traveled adventure climbs. I have only sampled the area, but am writing it up here to get the ball rolling. The crags are sandstone, some reminiscent of the good stuff at Red Rock, NV, some resembling the softer formations of Zion National Park, and some fit for climbing by only the truest of desert rats. No matter if you are chasing sun or shade, or wanting crimpers, slopers, pockets, or an occasional crack there are climbs of various flavors facing in any given direction at any given time of day, depending on which crag you are at. The Island In The Sky area sports the Aftershock Wall, Circus Wall, The Doghouse, and other walls with good sport and mixed climbs. The West Canyon area has adventure routes and much adventure potential for those looking for touble and in possession of an emergency bolt kit. The nearby town of Saint George has plenty of services and hotels as well as nearby 'improved camping' at Snow Canyon State Park ($14 in addition to $5 daily entry fee) or free camping just outside town on BLM land. The following guidebooks contain more details on the area and the park: Rock Climbs of Southwest Utah & The Arizona Strip, Second Edition; Rock Climbing Utah; and an article in Climbing magazine #225 (article by Tim Kemple).

The Cronenberg boulders are located off of the Kronberg Trail (thus the name) a mere minute drive north of Low Ball Land. This area is home to numerous striking features and some of the most unique rock Lac du Bonnet has to offer. With climbing of all styles including dynos, compression problems, thuggy slapping; there’s something here for everyone. The climbs in this area tend to be a bit on the taller side so bringing an extra pad and a spotter is recommended.

A mix of low ball and higher climbing on overhanging granite with mixed quartz features. Great potential for further development.
