Cedar Valley is a climbing area in southwest Oklahoma, about 3 miles from the town of Lugert. It sits among a cluster of named climbing spots, so it works well as a base for exploring several areas close together. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Altus Dam weather station show April highs around 72°F and October highs around 74°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. Atlantic, South America and Watch Me Wall are all climbing areas about 0.2 miles away, and Quartz Mountain is a hike at a similar distance. For time on the water, the Elm Fork Red River is about 4.4 miles off.
