The Candelabrum is a 4,700-foot-elevation (1,433-meter) pillar in Grand County, Utah, United States.
Description
The Candelabrum is located within the Park Avenue section of Arches National Park and like many of the rock formations in the park, it is composed of Entrada Sandstone, specifically the Slick Rock Member overlaying the Dewey Bridge Member. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 300 feet (91 meters) above the Park Avenue Trail in 300 feet (91 meters) laterally. Precipitation runoff from Candelabrum drains to the Colorado River via Courthouse Wash. The first ascent of the summit was made in November 1986 by Charlie Fowler and Chris Goplerud via Play with Fire rock-climbing route. Kyle Copeland and Alison Sheets first climbed the class 5.11c A2 Hall of Flame route in 1986. This landform was shown briefly in the opening scene of the 1989 American action-adventure film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
