Cecret Stash is a climbing area in the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a base for a day of bouldering or a longer outing in the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Alta weather station, which sits about 1,000 feet lower, show July highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F. Cecret Lake Trail and Sugarloaf Pass Trail both start about 0.1 mile away, and the Creekside Wall and Whipper Wall climbing areas are just as close. For an overnight stay, Redman Campground is about 3.5 miles off.
