Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Mt Shasta, CA, 18.8 mi away at 3,535 ft. The station sits about 1,500 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. This station doesn't record snowfall. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

45 Wall is a climbing area in California, about 7 miles from the town of Callahan. It sits close to two other climbing spots, Lover's Leap (Limestone) and Plasma Wall, each about 0.1 mile away, which makes it an easy pairing with them for a single visit. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to climb here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Mt Shasta show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 78°F, with summer days in the mid-80s. That station sits well below the wall, so expect temperatures at the climbing area to run cooler. The East Fork Scott River, a paddling route about a mile away, is the closest nearby option. For time off the rock, Kangaroo Lake offers a hike about 3 miles off, and Kangaroo Campground sits about 3.6 miles away.
