A Wall, also known as A Face, is a climbing area in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the town of West Quincy. It sits among a cluster of named walls, with C Wall (aka C Face), D Wall (aka D & E Faces) and G Wall (aka H Face) all within about a tenth of a mile. The area is a compact, close-knit set of rock faces, and the routes here are all top-roped. The climbing is straightforward, with six routes listed, all top-roped and ranging from 5.2 to 5.10 on the YDS scale. The easiest is Bulges at 5.2, and the hardest is Short Man's Sorrow at 5.10. The median grade is 5.6, so climbers can expect a range of options from easy to moderately challenging. For a change of pace, the Quarries Foot Path is about 0.3 miles away and the Crags Foot Path about 1.1 miles away. The Red Dot Loop is roughly 2.3 miles off.
