Sunday Wall Rock Climbing

The Sunday Wall is located south of the Ramp Routes, just north of Asbury Park. Routes are moderately long for the School Room, between 50 and 80 feet tall, and are equipped with a few communal anchors. This area is home to about 10 moderate trad routes (5.4 - 5.10) and makes a decent destination for trad climbing in Ogden that doesn't involve dodging cars, steep approaches, and loose rock in Ogden Canyon.

Like the rest of the School Room, the rock is quartzite. Consequently, there are few lines here that follow a single continuous feature, but features do tend to link into logical lines. Rock quality is generally pretty good, with the majority of loose rock cleaned off during development. The wall gets morning shade and afternoon sun (full sun around 1pm) and catches occasional breeze. Most every route can be led on a single set of cams (including some small/micro pieces) up to #3 camalot and a set of nuts.

Given the history of climbing in Ogden, it is likely that at least some of these lines have been climbed before ("Cold Sunday in Hell" has a very old, cool stamped piton still in it). As a result, I am not listing first ascentionists as they are unknown (if anyone knows who they are definitively, please let me know and I'll update). Routes have been named for the sake of expediency but I'll happily update them if anyone has beta.

A big thanks goes out to Susan DeBruin, Billyjack Cundiff, Alex Marsden, Neil Johnson, and Katie Johnson for their contributions of time, hardware, and hard work in climbing, cleaning, gardening, and developing these lines.
