Breakfast Wall is a climbing area in Arkansas's Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, within the Magazine Mountain Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. The area is compact, with two other climbing areas, Black on Blonde Wall and Crag Central, both about 0.1 mile away, making it easy to pair with more climbing in the same corner. The climbing here is a mix of trad and sport routes, with about 20 routes in total. The grades range from 5.7 to 5.12a, and the median is around 5.10-. Trad routes include Nymphomaniac (5.10a) and Leggo My Eggo (5.12a), while sport climbers can try Cling-On (5.10c) and Natural Stimulant (5.10d). Moonlight Stroll (5.7) is a good trad start. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 71°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits well below the wall, so temperatures on the crag run cooler. Within a short drive are the Mt. Magazine Trail, about 0.8 mile away, and Waveland Park campground, roughly 3.9 miles off. The Will Apple's Road Trail for mountain biking is about 1.9 miles away, and paddlers can find Revilee Creek about 7.2 miles away.
