Peg Leg Wall is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Royal Gorge Field Office in Colorado. The land is managed by the BLM, and the area sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Florissant Fossil Bed show July highs around 79°F with lows near 42°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run cooler. Piggy Bank and Bank Rob are both climbing areas within a quarter mile. BLM Trail 5825A is about half a mile away, and Banks Campground is under a mile off.
