Ashlar ridge is a stunning cliff that everyone drives past on their way to the Miette Hot Springs. It’s hard not to stop and stare at this incredible rock feature from the viewpoint on the road. This is a true climbing adventure. It takes about 45 minutes to drive to the parking area from the town of Jasper. We must ford the Fiddle river and hike up steep slopes off trail to the cliff. The approach takes about 1.5 hours. The climbing route is relatively sustained at the 5.7 / 5.8 grade throughout. This is a steep cliff with spectacular positions. Prior multi pitch climbing experience is necessary.
