Pandora is a climbing area in southern Utah, within the Escalante Ranger District of Dixie National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, with The Doldrums just 0.1 mile away and Banshee Wall 0.2 mile off, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding crags. The area is known for its alpine-style routes, and the seven listed here run from about 5.9+ up to 5.11b. The hardest is Talus Knirschen, a 5.11b first ascended by Rich Magner, Roy Suggett and Alexis Mollard. The Wrinkle, a 5.9+ route, was soloed by R. Suggett. Crack In The Space Time Fabric is a 5.10a, and The Last Shadow You Will Ever See is a 5.11a. The Dark Continent Area and Pangaea are both within a mile, and the Great Western Trail - Utah is about 3.5 miles away. Pine Lake Campground, roughly 4 miles off, offers a place to stay.
