Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Alpine, CA, 5.3 mi away at 1,695 ft. The station sits about 800 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.

Right Wall is a climbing area in the Descanso Ranger District of Cleveland National Forest in California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among several other climbing spots, with Madness Wall, Center/Headwall and Wedge, The all about 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alpine show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 78°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. That station sits about 780 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run cooler. For a longer outing, the Climber's Approach El Cajone Mountain hike is about 1.1 miles away, and the El Cajon Mountain Summit Trail is about 1.9 miles away.
