Training Camp is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, on the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the area sits within a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with Bad Bananas and Super Bowl Wall both about 0.1 mile away and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail at a similar distance. The climbing here is sport-oriented, with 10 routes spread across sport and trad styles. The grades range from 5.3 to 5.10c, with sport routes making up the bulk. Among the named routes are "What Is Your Major Malfunction, Numbnuts?" at 5.3 and "There is No Try" at 5.10c. The trad route "Didn't Make the Team" is rated 5.8+. For timing, late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable. A nearby weather station in Provo records typical May highs around 76°F and September highs around 83°F, and those figures run a bit warmer than at the climbing area, which sits higher than the station. Summer is hot, with typical July highs near 95°F.
