Warm Out Wall is a sport climbing area in California's Inyo National Forest, within the White Mountain Ranger District. It sits on city land, and two other climbing areas, Trestle Wall and Underground Cliff, are each about 0.1 mile away, so the three make a cluster of bolted routes. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Bishop run to highs around 74°F in April and 78°F in October, while July highs average about 100°F. That station sits roughly 1,600 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures up here run cooler. The climbing is all sport, with seven routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.11d. Behold is the easiest at 5.8, and Mini Me is the hardest at 5.11d. The Lower Rock Creek Trail and Lower Rock Creek are about 2.6 to 2.8 miles away for a break from the rock.
