Invasion Wall is a climbing area in the Buffalo Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in Arkansas, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other named climbing areas, including Sex Boulder Bouldering and The Sex Boulder, each about 0.1 mile away, and Land of the Little People at 0.2 mile. The wall offers a range of sport and boulder routes. Of the 24 routes, 20 are sport and 4 are boulders. Grades range from 5.10b to 5.13c on the YDS scale, with the median at 5.12c, and from V2- to V12 on the V scale. Among the sport routes, Ziggy Stardust is a 5.12- with a first ascent by Andrew Roepke, and Vaporlock is a 5.13c by Jordan Fugitt. For timing, September is a comfortable month, with typical highs around 75°F and lows near 60°F, according to averages from the Deer, AR weather station about 5 miles away. That station sits roughly 425 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures at the wall run a little cooler.
