The Pipeline is a sport climbing area in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing walls, with Pictograph Wall, Shapeshifter Wall and Billy the Kid Wall all about 0.1 mile away, and the Middle Fork Maple Trail just as close. The climbing here is all sport, with 19 routes spread across the area. The grades run from 5.10b up to 5.12c/d, with the median at 5.11d. The route named Pipeline, a 5.11d, was first climbed by Jason Stevens, and Predator, the hardest at 5.12c/d, was first climbed by Chris Hill. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Moroni weather station, which sits about 1,300 feet lower, show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, while July averages climb to 89°F. The San Pitch River, about 9.5 miles away, offers paddling.
