Ramblin' Wall is a sport climbing area in California's Angeles National Forest, within the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the surrounding landscape is a cluster of climbing spots, with Freezer Burn Wall, Eagles Roost Buttress and Waterfall Wall all about a tenth of a mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. At a nearby weather station in Wrightwood, typical average highs run about 60°F in April and 64°F in October, and July averages around 83°F. That station sits about 700 feet below the wall, so temperatures here run slightly cooler. The climbing here is all sport, with routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.11b/c. The routes include Child's Play (5.6), Ramblin' Man (5.10b) and Schred Central (5.11b/c). South Fork Trail lies about 1.7 miles away, and Buckhorn campground is about 2.2 miles off.
