Fume Wall is a rock climbing area in Colorado's San Juan National Forest, within the Columbine Ranger District and roughly 12 miles from Durango. It sits in a tight cluster of crags, so it pairs easily with neighboring walls on the same outing. Late spring and early fall offer the most comfortable temperatures. Typical averages from the nearby Durango weather station show September highs around 76°F with lows near 44°F, while July and August bring the most wet days of the year. Fume Wall Right is just 0.1 miles away and Low Angle Wall about 0.2 miles off. For a longer day, the Pinkerton-Flagstaff Trail lies about 2.6 miles away, and Lower Hermosa Campground, about 3 miles out, is the closest place to camp.
