Description
If a rather massive and convoluted hike to the Cirque itself doesn't bother you, this is a pretty fine series of climbs. The range of difficulty is wide, from sweet and simple 5.4s to the exposed thin aid of a 5.12 or few. The Question Mark Wall is the best known . . . and toughest . . . of the Cirque's walls, named for a feature shaped like a ?. You have to climb to get to it, but the access climb is fortunately that sweet and simple 5.4.

Basic Directions
From Big Cottonwood Canyon, drive south on Wasatch Drive until it turns itself west. After that west turn, turn left onto Draper Parkway at the first stoplight. Draper Parkway will initially go south and then bend west. After that bend, turn left on 1300 E at the first light. Follow this to the roundabout, which you'll exit east onto Pioneer Road, or 12300 South. Follow this until 2000 East, where you'll turn right. Keep going until the pavement turns dirt.
