Lake Powell

[maverickmt]

Anyone do any technical climbs out of lake powell? We have a 2 week trip planned for the 4th. Any canyon suggestions on the water?

... a 2 week trip planned...

My jealousy runs deeper than that lake right now.

Powell has lots of canyons. Depends which part of the lake you are going to be, obviously.

And "on the water", do you mean end at the lake, or start from the lake, or what?

(One personal favorite is West canyon)

Some good info here... mostly for the southern end.

West Canyon is great - we do that one every year - I was hoping for a techincal canyon. I havent found any posted technical routes - thanks for that link I am checking it out now.

It's a mighty big lake.... might help if you told us which marina you are boating out of...

Here are two awesome routes best done from the lake

Very cool looking hikes - we are going to be boating out of bullfrog/halls, but we are going to be heading down lake to ribbon canyon to camp (right before the san juan river arm...) Plenty of boat power to get around the lake though to hike!
