Prospect Wall is a climbing area in the San Jacinto Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest, about 1.6 miles from the community of Thomas Mountain, California.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 72°F, while July and August climb to the mid-80s. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run cooler. Ramona is a hike about 0.9 miles away, and the Thomas Mountain Bike Trail is about 1.6 miles off.
