About Ibex Crags

Sitting on the eastern edge of the Great Basin, Ibex is known as a world class bouldering area by climbers. It is located in the Tule Valley, west of Delta Utah. With its unique landscape, solid quartzite rock, mild winter temperatures and rural location, Ibex is an amazing destination for climbers looking to experience something extraordinary and different. It is not uncommon at all to have Ibex all to yourself and the solitude you will find adds to the experience. Ibex was discovered by climbers in the early nineties, but did not become a destination until later in the decade when some of the Salt Lake locals started developing the area.

How to Get There

From Delta, head west on US-50. Around mile marker 38/39 there will be a dirt road on the left heading south. Continue South for approximately 2 miles to the dry lake bed. The Climbing is on the west side of the playa.
