Trip report

Apr 4, 2021 — Lambs Knoll is mostly known for its climbing area just outside of Zion National Park. The trail was easy to follow to the base of Lambs Knoll, where there were many climbers taking advantage of the sandstone. We passed a short slot canyon on the left at the base of the cliffs and ascended a well-beaten social trail heading south. The trails branched out, some heading to the head of the previously mentioned slot canyon, others going elsewhere. As long as you're ascending, you're likely on track. We reached the base of Lambs Knoll, keeping to the left of the summit as we entered a sandy and brushy slope, which brought us around to the south side of Lambs Knoll. A single Class 3 move got us to the summit block.
