The House Range is a climbing area in southern Utah, within the Bureau of Land Management's Fillmore Field Office. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas in the region, with West Desert about 1.4 miles away, Marjum Canyon and Buffalo Bill Wall about 1.8 miles off, and Campsite East about 2 miles away. The climbing here mixes sport and traditional styles, with 7 sport routes and 4 traditional ones. The YDS grade range runs from 5.7 to 5.12c, and a few of the more notable routes are The Easy Way Up (5.7 trad), Fat Matt's Rib Shack (5.10c sport) and The Unforgiven (5.12c sport). Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 64°F and September highs around 73°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. That station sits about 330 feet lower than the House Range, so temperatures up top run a little cooler.
