Mickey Mouse Wall is a climbing area in Colorado on city-managed land within the Eldorado Mountain (Conda Quarry) area, about 0.2 miles from the Eldorado Mountain climbing area and The Industrial Wall. The climbing here draws on a mix of traditional, mixed and sport routes, with grades ranging from 5.7 to 5.13c/d. The wall is close to two other climbing areas, Eldorado Mountain and The Industrial Wall, both about 0.2 miles away. The Mickey Mouse Trail and Goshawk Ridge Trail are about 0.6 miles off for a walk before or after a session on the rock. Winiger Ridge campground is about 5 miles away for an overnight stay. The most comfortable climbing weather typically comes in July, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 79°F and lows near 50°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the wall, so temperatures up high run a little cooler.
