Stormwatch Wall is a climbing area in the Globe Ranger District of Tonto National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. It sits within a cluster of climbing spots that make an easy base for a day of bouldering or sport climbing in this corner of the forest. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Miami, Arizona, run from highs around 72°F with lows near 43°F in March and November to about 84°F and 55°F in October. The station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the wall, so temperatures here tend to run a little cooler. Troll Hut and Amphitheater, The are both about 0.1 mile away, and Northern Devils Canyon is about 0.3 mile off. For an overnight stay, Oak Flat campground is about 2.3 miles away.
