Main Wall is a climbing area in Staunton State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits within the park's state park land unit, and the Roughneck Area and Sawmill West Buttress climbing areas are each about 0.1 mile away, so the wall fits easily into a day of climbing in this corner of the park. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Grant, CO, show July highs around 75°F with lows near 43°F, while winter highs stay in the low to mid 30s. The Border Line Trail and Old Mill Trail are both about 0.2 mile away for a walk before or after climbing. Elk Creek, about 3 miles off, offers canoeing, and Meridian Campground, roughly 8 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
