Looking north across the canyon to the crag

General Layout:<br> <br> The climbing is broken into two general areas, North and South. The Northern area consists of The Ramp, Asbury Park, and The Basement, while the Southern Area consists of The Tangerine, 5.10 Slab, The Great Flake/Treecrack Area, The Schoolroom Wall, and the Utahnics Wall. The Alcove is pretty much in the middle. The wall itself consists of two tiers, or levels which are split by a (usually) wide grassy ledge. All of the areas in this guide except the Utahnics Wall are on the 2nd, or upper tier. These areas are described from North to South, or left to right as you are looking at the cliff from Ogden.
The Schoolroom Wall as seen from The Bonneville Shoreline Trail on Malan’s Peak. Approach as follows:<br> <br> The Southern area is best reached by climbing the large talus slope which is reached from 27th street in Ogden. From 27th Street head toward “Castle Rock”, a large boulder at the base of the talus that some genius has dumped white paint on (probably a result of the questionable breeding practices in this state). The best way to reach Castle Rock is to follow the Taylor canyon trail, just after it crosses the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, turn left on a faint path into the scrub oak. About 50 yards before Castle Rock turn right on a steep trail that leads to the Upper Boulder field and the "Around the World Boulder". Head to the NW corner of the Upper Boulderfield where a faint trail leads through a short band of scrub oak and onto the large talus field. Head up the talus, veering left as you ascend to the Utahnics Wall, a smooth 50 foot wall with a sharp arete and right facing dihedral on its left side. To reach the routes on the upper tier, either climb one of the Utahnics routes, or scrmble up 3rd class ledges just below the route “Hype Dependant”. Once the upper tier is gained, hike 50’ north to the base of Tree Crack. From this point hiking North, you will encounter the Schoolroom Wall, The Great Flake, The 5.10 Slab, The Tangerine, and eventually (a quarter mile later) The Alcove.

the ledges! all-time coolest approach

Looking at Schoolroom and Taylor canyon from the 27th street trailhead
Northern Area: The northern areas are best approached from 22nd street. From the parking lot, locate the large grassy ramp that angles up and to the right to Asbury Park. This is your goal. Follow the maze of trails to the base of this ramp, then hike the trail up the ramp to the Ramp Routes, Asbury Park, and The Basement.

Not sure the name of this one. We simi-climbed roughly 4 pitches on the southern end of schoolroom with literally 2 moves of 5.7 with a whole lotta 5.4. A fun outing!
