Rock Climbing/Rappelling
Zion Ponderosa has recently finished construction on a 40-foot high climbing and rappelling wall. This wall is the biggest wall in Southern Utah and has charted climbs for both the beginning and advanced climbers. The wall is the perfect focal point for group training and trust workshops. With over 20,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor climbing surface, our wall is the hot spot both in winter and summer months. We also have a 24 foot-high portable climbing wall available for rent.
