Pariott Mesa Mostly Trad climbing 11 routes in crag

At the northern end of Parriot Mesa, a slender spire that is detached but barely discernible.

Easiest to hike in from the east having parked in Ida Gulch.

P1) Start on the Eastern side, climbing chockstones in the crack. Continue up to the col between the mesa and spire.

P2) Aid up drilled pitons and bolts to the summit, take some gear too. A number of ASCA bolts replaced some fixed pins in 2010.

Descent) Make 2 raps with 2 x 60m ropes.

Drive 3.2 miles up the Castle Valley Rd from the highway 128 and turn left on to a dirt road, low clearance vehicles can park here, but high clearance can continue another 300m or so to the base of the dirt slope.

Follow a track making a rising traverse in the direction of Castleton Tower, once up on top of the low range, make a sharp left turn and head for Pariott Mesa, you should be able to follow a well cairned trail making a rising traverse up and right, aiming for the base of the far right side of the impressive cliffs.

Once at the base of the cliffs, the trail passes through a short 4th class rock band, then the trail continues around into the next bowl and the cable.

Climbs the obvious crack at the south western edge.

P1) 120ft, off-width crack slinging chockstones for pro, turns into squeeze chimney.

P2) 100ft, Move to the back of the chimney, then climb a hand crack and belay on top of a chockstone.

P3) 100ft, up a 5.10 hand crack, protecting with BD #1 cams. Chimney narrows to a stem, leading up to drilled warthogs at an arch.

P4) 50 ft, up a slab for 20 ft, go right, then another 20 ft to large ledge and detached block/flake.

P5) 50 ft, up the detached block and aid through 3 bolts.

Descent: It is possible to rappel the route. Or, traverse the mesa and descend the "Mountaineers Route", although the top can be difficult to find first time.

The large bowl/amphitheatre immediately north of Ascended Yoga Masters.

Looks like a fair bit of loose scrambling, and a final steep wall to exit the amphitheatre.
