Dam Wall is a climbing area in Arizona, sitting right at the town of Entro. It's a compact spot with five traditional routes, all rated between 5.9- and 5.11b/c, so it works well for a short session on a single wall. The most comfortable months for a visit are spring and fall. Typical averages from the nearby Prescott weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August climb to about 90°F with more wet days. The routes here are all trad, and the grade range runs from 5.9- up to 5.11b/c. Dam Classic (aka The Dam Crack) is the easiest at 5.9-, and West Nile is the hardest at 5.11b/c. Haywire, at 5.10, is a good middle ground. The Iron King Trail and Tom Mix Trail both start within a quarter mile, and The Top Wall and The Oasis are climbing areas about half a mile away.
