Striped Wall Area is a bouldering area in Phoenix South Mountain Park, on city land in Phoenix, Arizona. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Scrap Metal and Cyclops Corner just a few hundred yards away, and the Mormon Trail (closures in effect) about 0.2 miles off. The area is a bouldering destination, with 28 routes, all of them boulders, and grades ranging from V0- to V6. The easiest is Hamma' Jamma', a V0- boulder, and the hardest is Unnamed 15 (TR), a V6. The median grade is V2, so the area suits climbers of all levels. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in South Phoenix show January highs around 67°F and lows near 42°F, while summer highs climb into the 100s. That station sits about 588 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Nearby, the Mormon Trail hike starts about 0.3 miles away, and Hidden Valley Trail and Devestator Trail are both under a mile off. Coffee Enema Boulders, another climbing area, is about half a mile away.
