Spivey Wall is a climbing area in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, in the Buffalo Ranger District of Arkansas. The Forest Service manages the land. The climbing here is all sport, with 12 routes ranging from 5.10b up to 5.13a/b. Creek Show is the hardest, and Mr. Sassy Pants is the easiest. The routes are bouldery and run on a steep grade, so plan on a day of technical climbing rather than a quick session. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go.
