Right Fork is a 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 other climbing areas, with Cragganzenden, Zen Garden and The Maximum all about 0.1 mile away. The Right Fork Trail starts about 0.3 mile off, and Maple Canyon campground is about half a mile away. The climbing here is all sport, with 17 routes spread across a range from 5.3 to 5.12a. The median grade is 5.10d, and the hardest route is The Neversweat at 5.12a. Conjunction Junction is the easiest, at 5.3, and The Function is a 5.11c/d. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Manti show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, while July averages about 87°F. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler.
