The White Wall is a climbing area in the Williams Ranger District of Arizona's Kaibab National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing spots and trails, with Davidson Wall and The Jungle Wall both about 0.1 mile away and Sycamore Rim about the same distance. The area is a traditional climbing destination. Of its 22 routes, all are trad, and they range from 5.8+ to 5.13. The White Rose is the easiest at 5.8+, and K.C. Crypt Keeper is the hardest at 5.13. Pandora's Box, at 5.12, is a good middle ground. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from the nearby Williams weather station show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 67°F, while July and August bring the most wet days, about 10 to 12 a month. White Horse Lake Campground is about 1.7 miles away, and Pomeroy Tanks Trail is about 0.9 mile off. For a change from the rock, JD Dam offers lake fishing about 4.8 miles away.
