The Grey Cliffs (Private Property) Climbing

PRIVATE PROPERTY - Climbing Not Permitted

Land Owners have reached out and asked to have the areas here listed as closed. They are here as a historical record and to spread the word of the closure. Talks of possible trespassing fines for crossing/entering private property. These cliffs sit within private property. 

The Grey Cliffs are the tall bands of limestone towering above the Grey Cliff Lodge and Alaskan Inn on the North side of Ogden Canyon. They are high up away from the road and over 100 feet tall. Routes have been climbed on these walls probably as far back as the 50s and 60's. Rock quality is inconsistent, some say horrendous. This may be limestone but this is not a sport-climbing zone. The rock is unique from the lime South in American Fork and North in Logan in that it is able to be traditionally protected. Water has scoured grooves, pockets and runnels into the sharp stone and seams/thin cracks abound. Rotten rock prevails especially on the higher more difficult to access routes. Pins abound, young and old. Longer run-outs and heads-up climbing give the area character.
