Ogden Area Rock Climbers

All levels welcome! Come join us for some top-rope and lead climbing at The Front - South Main.
Afterwards we may go out for a late lunch. We will climb from 1030 A.M. to around 2 P.M. (ending time might shift some depending on how people feel).
If you are coming from the Ogden Area and would like to carpool please let me know.

WHERE TO MEET: Meet in the north-east corner of the main floor just pass the speed wall. I have one free guest pass available for someone who is not yet a gym member. Message me and we can plan to meet at the front doors.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: - Harness (you can rent this) - Shoes (you can rent these) - Belay test - If you do not already have a belay card for The Front, you will need to be tested for a top rope belay, or, if you want to lead belay or lead climb, take a lead test. If you are not belay certified dont't worry, you can still climb on top rope but not belay.

This will be our second trip to Red Rocks.I'll get straight to the details.

Rock: Red Rock is comprised of a 3000 foot thick escarpment of Aztec Sandstone. This rock is generally quite well-bonded, being more solid than that found in the other great sandstone areas of the west. Mountain Project lists well over two thousand climbs with 58% of them Trad climbing.

Weather: The first weekend of May for 2023 recorded temps were:

Friday- 69/52, Saturday- 73/44, Sunday- 81/49

Averages for April are 66-77/41-49 and May 75-87/50-59

It is quite common to be comfortable in the parking lot and freezing on the route. The temperature in the canyons is usually ten degrees colder than town, having some kind of wind stopper is always a good idea.

Camping: We've secured the B-Cactus Wren, loop: group campsite.

Cost: TBD

Food: TBD

FYI: Additional information will be posted in the event message board.
