Climbing Near Cooper Landing, Alaska

25-45m winter climbing routes. Short approach, a variety of routes from classic easy ice to challenging sport mixed climbing. Other routes are being developed here, they will be uploaded when complete. Please respect the route developer's in situ draws/lines on projects not yet listed in this guide. 10 minutes from Johnson Pass trailhead, on the shore of Trail Lake.

Right off of skilak lake road but easy to miss if you’re not looking. All the routes are top rope only. Short walk/bush wack to the top of the wall. Rappel down to anchors to set up the top rope. If driving from the Soldotna turn onto the first entrance to skilak lake road. Continue down the toad until you pass the upper Ohmer Lake. Just past the upper Ohmer Lake is a small pull off that overlooks the lake, park here. Walk 50 yards up the road where you will see the rock face through the trees on your right.

Short 7-10 minute hike to the top of the wall. The wall itself is roughly 40 ft. Bugs can be bad, bring bug spray. This wall is still being developed and will soon see a couple more routes. The trail is marked and being improved. Drive down Skilak Lake Road. If coming from the south entrance drive past both the lower and upper Ohmer Lakes. Park at the pull off overlooking the upper Ohmer Lake. Walk up the road towards the Top Rope wall. Once the rock face on the right (the top rope wall) goes away and there’s an easy entrance into the woods look for the bright orange flagging tape. Follow the flagging tape 7-10 minutes through the woods until you reach the top of the Ryan’s wall. The trail will continue to be improved.
