Nirvana Wall is a climbing area in Colorado's Pikes Peak Ranger District, part of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The Forest Service manages the land, and the wall sits right beside Stanley Canyon, about a tenth of a mile away. The climbing here ranges from moderate sport routes to some of the more challenging, with 24 routes in total. Most are sport climbs, and the grades run from 5.4 up to 5.12a. A few trad routes, like Piton Pilsner at 5.4, round out the selection. The hardest is Truly Hell, a 5.12a sport route. For timing, late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 69°F in May and 76°F in September, while July averages reach about 85°F and winter highs sit near 45°F. Mt. Harmon is about half a mile away, and the West Monument Creek Trail 713 is about a mile off. The W.
