Ice Wall is a climbing area in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah, about 1 mile from the town of Ogden. The Diamond lies just 0.1 mile away, and the 5.8 Wall is about 0.2 mile off, so the two climbing areas make an easy pairing on a single outing. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 76°F, while July and August climb into the upper 80s. The Ogden River and Hidden Valley are both about 0.4 mile away. Maples Campground sits roughly 2.8 miles out, and the Ogden River Parkway offers mountain biking about half a mile from the wall.
