The General Hospital is a climbing area in Utah, about a third of a mile from the town of Veyo. It sits right alongside several other named climbing areas, so it makes an easy addition to a day spent exploring the rock in this corner of the state. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 71°F, while July averages about 92°F and January highs hover near 48°F. The Pipelines, Rubicon and Flytrap climbing areas all lie within a tenth of a mile, so you can string several routes together in a single outing. For an overnight stay, Baker Dam Campground is about 4 miles away.
