Lower Ohman is a climbing area in the Clear Creek Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, with Middle Ohman and Under Loch and Key Boulder each about 0.1 mile away, so it works well as a single stop or as part of a day spent exploring the surrounding crags. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 69°F with lows near 46°F, while temperatures at this higher spot run a bit cooler than at the station. Winter is cold, with January highs around freezing. For more time outdoors, the James Peak South mountain bike trail is about half a mile away and the James Peak Trail hike is about a mile off. Robbers Roost Campground, roughly 4 miles away, offers a place to stay overnight.
