Wolf Point is a climbing area in the Hood River Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon, managed by the Forest Service. The area sits within a small cluster of climbing spots, with The Leaning Tower Area and The Aviary both about 0.1 mile away, and the Zig Zag hike also within a tenth of a mile. The climbing here is a mix of sport and trad routes, with 12 routes in total. The grades range from 5.7 up to 5.12a, and among them are GSR (Good Sport Route) at 5.7, Funkytown at 5.9, and Wolf Gang at 5.12a. Both sport and trad climbers will find options in this range, and the area works well as a stop on a day that includes other climbing or a nearby hike. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. A nearby weather station at Government Camp records typical July and August highs around 69 to 70°F with only four wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and rain on most days. Cloud Cap Saddle campground is about half a mile away and Sherwood about a mile, making them convenient bases for a longer stay. Tamanawas Falls lies roughly 0.4 mile off.
