Christ Died is a climbing area in Hinckley Reservation in Ohio, on city land. It sits among several other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of exploring the reservation's rock. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Stow run to highs around 70°F in May and 74°F in September, while January highs average only 33°F. Z's Blue Grunks Wall, Whipps Ledges and Beer Can Alley all lie about 0.1 mile away, and Main Wall is about 0.2 mile off. For time on the water, Yellow Creek offers canoeing about 5.7 miles away.
