Zion Ponderosa is home to the biggest climbing and repelling wall in southern Utah, it is 40-feet and has charted climbs for both the beginning and advanced climbers. Our 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor climbing surface provides hours of fun. After you and your family or friends have tested your skills on our rock wall you can go with one of our experienced guides and try the real thing as you repel into a slot canyon.

Rock Climbing Instruction
Rock climbing is fast becoming a popular sport for hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world. Once considered an extreme sport, rock climbing has emerged as an activity that is enjoyed by a wide variety of participants, both young and old, highly trained athletes and weekend warriors. Zion Ponderosa gives guests the opportunity to learn the basics of rock climbing on our new climbing and rappelling wall. The wall is staffed throughout the day and evening with all necessary equipment for guests to begin their rock climbing adventure. Beginner climbs give newcomers the confidence they need to learn the proper technique. Experienced climbers will find the advanced climbs more than challenging, including the overhang and crack features.

Rappelling
At the top of the climbing wall is a lookout tower that can be accessed by an internal stairway. The tower has a bird's eye view of the resort and the surrounding ranch. Guests can learn how to safely rappel as they descend the forty foot wall. East Zion Adventure's qualified staff will instruct guests on the basics of rope and harness safety. Guests will learn how to master and overcome their innermost fears as they learn this popular activity. Rappelling is not for everyone, but those willing to give it a try will find it both frightening and very exciting. Staff will take careful attention to make the rappelling experience safe and fun for all guests.
