Dream Weaver Wall is a climbing area in Connecticut, about a mile from the Pinnacle Heights Housing community. It sits among a cluster of climbing walls, with A-Frame Wall, Cracked Wall and Entertainer Wall all about a tenth of a mile away, so it works well as a stop on a broader day of rock. The climbing is all trad, and the five routes range from 5.7 to 5.9+. The most notable are Dream Weaver, at 5.9+, and Psycho Path, which was first climbed in 1979 and holds a 5.9 grade. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burlington, at a similar elevation, show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while January averages a high of 36°F and July runs to 84°F. Other climbing is close at hand. A-Frame Wall, Cracked Wall and Entertainer Wall are each about 0.1 mile away. For a walk, the Yellow Trail starts about 0.2 mile off.
