The Booze Pig Wall is a bouldering area in the Flagstaff Ranger District of Coconino National Forest, in northern Arizona. It sits on Forest Service land, and the Booze Pig Wall West and The Half-life Wall both lie about 0.1 mile away, so the three make a cluster of bouldering close to one another. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 13 routes spread across the wall and the adjacent walls. Grades run from V1 up to V8, with V5 as the median. The Booze Pig Wall itself is the source of the area's name, and the route "Booze Pig" is listed at V6. Other named routes include "Punch Drunk Sunrise" at V7 and "A Hardwood Floor is Home" at V8. For timing, the most comfortable months are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Flagstaff airport weather station run from highs around 68°F in May to about 74°F in September, with July and August the warmest and wettest months. The station sits about 34 feet higher than the wall. The Half-life Wall and Booze Pig Wall West are each 0.1 mile away, and the Canyon Vista hike is 1.3 miles off. Marshall Lake, about 2.4 miles away, is the closest place to fish.
