Causey Reservoir is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Ogden Ranger District. The land is managed by State Fish and Wildlife, and the reservoir itself sits among a cluster of hiking routes and other climbing spots. The climbing here is sport-based, with 12 sport routes and one alpine route among the 13 listed. The grades run from 5.10a up to 5.12c, with the median at 5.11d. Boneyard is the easiest at 5.10a, and Rat Face and Putty Boy is the hardest at 5.12c. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, while July and August average about 90°F. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet lower than the reservoir, so temperatures at the climbing area run cooler. Several hikes start close by, including Baldy Ridge at 0.2 miles and Bear Hollow at 0.6 miles. Serendipity Wall, another climbing area, is about 1.5 miles away. For an overnight stay, Willows Campground is about 3.9 miles off.
