Alien Wall is a climbing area in Minnesota, about 1.7 miles from the town of Oneota. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as one stop in a day of exploring the surrounding crags. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Duluth show July highs around 78°F with lows near 56°F, while January highs average only about 20°F. Several climbing areas lie right next door, including Ultimate Block, South Little Foxx and Little Foxx, each about 0.1 mile away. Mountain bikers can head to Hutchinson Lot Connector, roughly 0.2 mile off.
