Sport Utility Wall is a climbing area in the Mount Olympus Wilderness, part of the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The Forest Service manages the land. The routes here run from about 5.7 to 5.10c, and the climbing is split between sport and traditional styles. Among the six routes are Short Roof (5.7 sport), Kelly's Crack (5.8 trad), and Hiditaka Suzuki's Sidekick (5.10c sport). The North Summit and South Summit climbing areas both sit about 0.1 mile away, so the wall pairs easily with climbing on those summits. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Alta weather station, about 8 miles away, show July highs near 73°F and lows around 50°F, with fewer wet days than in the winter months when highs stay around freezing. Nearby options include the Neffs Canyon Trail and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail - Mount Olympus Section, both within about a mile and a half. Lake Florence and Lake Lillian are about 5 miles away for fishing, and Jordan Pines Campground is roughly 6.5 miles out.
