I Crags (Uneva Canyon) is a climbing area in Utah's San Rafael Reef Wilderness, managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Price Field Office. It sits within the wilderness, and the surrounding land is part of the BLM's Price Field Office. The area is a cluster of crags, with N Crags, U Crags and P Crags all about 0.1 mile away. The Eastern Reef Area, also known as The Sandstone Alps, is just as close. That makes this a compact, interconnected network of climbing spots rather than a single route. The climbing here is trad, with a few mixed and sport routes. There are 13 routes in total, ranging from 5.6 to 5.12. Trad routes like Forget Me Not (5.6) and The Black Helicopter (5.11+) are the most common, and May Cause Dizziness (5.12) is a mixed option. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages about 95°F. For a change from the crags, the Sprit Arch and Petroglyph Panel Trail is about 3.8 miles away, and the San Rafael River offers canoeing about 8.4 miles off.
