Lisa Falls Buttress is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. The climbing area sits close to the Lisa Falls hike and the Upper Lisa Falls Trail, both about 0.1 mile away. The Freedom Wall and Lisa Falls West climbing areas are also within a short distance. That makes the whole Lisa Falls area a natural grouping for climbers and hikers, with plenty to pair on a single visit. The climbing here is a mix of trad, sport and mixed styles, with 16 routes spread across the area. The grades range from 5.4 to 5.10d. Among the named routes are Lefty (trad, 5.4), Rodan (sport, 5.10d) and Hard Knocks (mixed, 5.9). For timing, summer is the most comfortable season. Typical averages from the Timpanogos Cave weather station, about 9 miles away, run from highs near 78°F in June to around 88°F in July, while winter highs sit in the low 30s. That station sits roughly 770 feet below the buttress, so temperatures here run cooler.
