Upper Wall is a climbing area in Minnesota, about 1.2 miles from the town of Missabe Junction. It sits right next to Lower Wall, which is about 0.1 mile away, and it makes an easy pairing with the mountain biking trails that start just as close by, including Bones of the Beast, Dr. Diablo and Medropolis. 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 winter highs stay in the 20s. Other climbing areas within a short drive include Sanctuary, about half a mile away, and Rock Bridge, about 0.6 mile away.
