Afternoon shade. great sport climbing, good rock quality, well protected. you can park right by the base of the wall, no approach.
Getting There
go up ogden canyon(12th street, about 2 miles past the waterfall at the mouth of the canyon. look for a large parking area o the south side of the canyon.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Hole in the Rock:
Very easy to TR the bottom wall by scrambling up to the left. There are two sets of bolts. The lower set is out on the face and are a bit older but seem fine. A fall could potentially pull the block off where these bolts are. Better to use the top set of bolts that are two Fixe bolts connected by a chain and a nice rap ring to come down off of. These are located on a nice ledge about 7-8 feet up and to the right of the bolts on the face.
We should try talking with Ogden City to see if we could get those wires moved further out on the face so they are not in the way.
Not having a Northern Utah guide book I am curious. How did the routes get their respective names, community consensus? The MP route descriptions have no FA info which is a shame. Just wondering, I heart climbing history.
Unfortunately, the Ogden Area Climbing Guide has no first ascent information. I don’t have any of the older, out-of-print guides; maybe there is some info there?
