Lisa Falls West is a climbing area in the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, about 0.1 mile from the Upper Lisa Falls Trail and the Lisa Falls mountain biking route. It sits among several other climbing and hiking destinations, including the Freedom Wall and the Lisa Falls Buttress, all within a short distance. The climbing here is all sport, with five routes ranging from 5.9- to 5.10c. The Red Eye Express is the easiest at 5.9-, and the Superbowl is the hardest at 5.10c. All the routes were first ascended by Greg Martinez and Zach Garheart or their climbing partners in the early 2000s. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Timpanogos Cave, which sits about 1,100 feet lower, show July highs around 88°F and lows near 60°F. That station's figures run cooler than conditions at Lisa Falls West, so expect somewhat milder temperatures there. Tanners Flat Campground is about 1.5 miles away, and Lake Lillian is about 2.6 miles off. Albion Basin campground lies roughly 6 miles away.
