The Hidden Wall is a bouldering area in the Flagstaff Ranger District of Coconino National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The Anchor and The Cove Wall each about 0.1 mile away. The area is a bouldering destination, with five routes all rated on the V scale. The grades run from V0- to V4, and all are boulder problems. The easiest are Hiding in the Peace (V0-) and Not Forgotten (V0), while Hide and Seek is the hardest at V4. The first ascents of these routes are credited to Flagstaff Old School. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Flagstaff show May highs around 68°F and October highs around 64°F, with July and August bringing the most wet days of the year. Marshall Lake and the Lake Mary Recreation Corridor are both within about a mile and a half, and the AZT - Walnut Canyon mountain biking route is about 2 miles away. Canyon Vista, a hike, is roughly 3 miles off.
