Bear Ridge is a climbing area in Oregon, about 2.7 miles from the town of Cleveland. The area holds six routes, a mix of top rope and sport climbing, with grades ranging from 5.7+ to 5.11a. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Winchester show July and August highs around 86°F with only about two wet days a month, while winter brings highs near 50°F and rain on roughly 20 days a month. That station sits about 1,500 feet below the ridge, so temperatures at the cliff run cooler. Among the routes, Boones Farm Strawberry Hill Crack is a top rope at 5.7+, and The Red Blende. is a sport climb at 5.11a. The Zen Spot and The Callahans are climbing areas about 5 miles away, and Hubbard Creek offers canoeing roughly 3 miles off.
