Attitude Wall is a sport climbing area in California's San Gabriel Mountains, within the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest and the Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area. The land is managed as county land, and the wall sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with North Area and Hidden Wall each about 0.1 mile away and Devil's Punchbowl about 0.2 mile off. The climbing here is all sport, with 12 routes ranging from 5.9 to 5.12d. The hardest is Lacking Editude at 5.11d and Attitude Adjuster at 5.12d. Joke Book is the easiest at 5.9, and Stop the Press is a 5.12b. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from the Pearblossom weather station, about 6 miles away, show April highs near 75°F and October highs near 80°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. That station sits roughly 1,600 feet below the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Nearby, the Devils Punchbowl Interpretive and Devil's Chair Trail hikes are each about 0.3 mile away. Southfork Campground is about 2.6 miles off, and Big Rock campground is about 5 miles away.
