Ska Block is a climbing area in the Pleasant Grove Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. It sits among other climbing spots, with Black Rose and He-Man Boulder each about 0.1 mile away, and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Rock Canyon hike both within a third of a mile. The climbing here runs from easy to moderate to the more challenging. Five routes are listed, with grades from 5.2 to 5.11b. Among them are Solo Crack, a 5.2 trad route, and Guns of Navarone, a 5.11b sport route. Three of the routes are sport and two are trad, and the median grade is 5.8. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Provo run from highs around 76°F and lows near 47°F in May to highs near 68°F and lows around 41°F in October. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the climbing area, so expect conditions here to run a little cooler.
