Heinousness Wall is a bouldering area in Muscatatuck Park, on city land in Indiana. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, including the Tangerine Wall, the Peach wall and the Pink Boulder, all within about a tenth of a mile. The park also has the Black Trail and Green Trail for hikers. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 24 routes spread across the V0 to V6 range. The easiest is Keep it Green at V0, and the hardest is Kundilini Direct at V6, which Alex McIntyre first climbed in September 2018. The median grade is V3, so the area suits climbers of all levels. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, while July highs reach about 86°F. Sixmile Creek, a paddling spot, lies about 4.8 miles away.
