The Facilities

Built to make you a better climber

Honesty, the Front Climbing Club of Ogden is likely the most beautiful climbing gym in the world.  The interior space is light and open, and the contrast of the 100 year old steel and brick building with the modern sleek flowing wood walls is... well, stunning.

It is worth a trip just to visit, and if you've been to any other climbing gym, you'll probably agree it is unique in its beauty. But, as they say, beauty is only skin deep.  On closer inspection you'll discover The Ogden Front provides world-class climbing; smooth wood walls, routes, bouldering, top-rope, crags, and climbing-specific training walls.

Route Wall and Top Rope

Whether the gym is your destination for a day of fun or part of your training “journey”, we’re here for you! Our walls range from gentle slab to horizontal roof, and are covered with routes ranging from 5.6 (just plain fun) to 5.13 (pretty darn hard). If you’re new, let us start you off on the right foot with roped-climbing safety instruction and some basic tips to help you get to the top of the wall!

Bouldering

1600 square feet of undulating Baltic birch plywood beckon you to play on them to develop your technique, strength, and problem-solving skills. Bouldering is a sure way to increase power and train dynamic movement. Our Bouldering Wall begins just off vertical and gradually becomes steeper as you move down the length of it. Twelve-inch thick padding below makes for safe “drop-and-roll” landings!

Weight and Cardio

We recognize the importance of overall fitness and cross-training, and we’ve got a complete weight and cardio gym to prove it. Stationary bikes, elliptical machines, steppers, treadmills, cable-cross, kettle bells, medicine balls, weight machines, squat rack, and free weights…plus a few more odds and ends.

Youth and Group Area

The Youth area was designed with kids and beginners in mind. With terrain that’s just a bit less intimidating, holds that are just a bit closer together. The adjacent Party Room with a kitchenette, tables, and chairs, is available for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and any other great thing you want to celebrate!

Crags

Looking for cracks? We’ve got those, too! Thin finger cracks, flaring off-widths…thought you had to go to the desert to find them? Not so! Crack-climbing aficionados will appreciate the diversity of the terrain, and those trying for the first time will enjoy a different kind of climbing challenge

Yoga

Leave everything else behind when you enter The YogaLoft, our dedicated yoga studio nestled in the heart of The Front. Yoga is the perfect complement to climbing, working to remedy imbalances in the body: front-to-back, side-to-side, and strength-to-flexibility. The studio is a beautiful, light, airy space where there’s always room for everyone, regardless of experience level. See the schedule and class descriptions »here.

Slackline

What is it? It’s a length of nylon webbing stretched taut about two feet off the ground between two posts. You walk on it. You do tricks on it. If you’ve never tried it, get ready to have the most fun you’ve ever had being frustrated! And then watch as your balance and core strength improve as you begin to master the skills of the slackline.
