The Pipelines is a sport climbing area in Utah, about a third of a mile from the town of Veyo. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with The General Hospital and The Rubicon both within a quarter mile, so it makes an easy add-on to a day spent exploring the Veyo area. The climbing here is all sport, and the grades run from 5.8 up to 5.10a. Six routes are listed, including Crack Pipe at 5.8, Pipe Dreams at 5.10a, and Put That in Your Pipe and Smoke It, which sits just above 5.9. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Veyo run to highs around 75°F in May and 71°F in October, with summer highs climbing into the low 90s. Baker Dam Campground is about 4 miles away for an overnight stay, and the Santa Clara River offers canoeing roughly 5 miles out.
