High Ball Wall is a climbing area in Missouri, about 1.8 miles from the town of Hermann. It sits right next to the South Wall Area and the CM: Hermann Roadside Park, both of which are about 0.1 mile away, so the three make an easy cluster to visit together. The area has eight routes, six of which are sport climbs with grades ranging from 5.10 to 5.12a. The boulder route, Rune Boulder (aka Bandit Cove), is about 9.6 miles away. The hardest of the sport routes is Slab Chimp at 5.12a, and the easiest is Excuse Me at 5.10. Marcus Floyd is the first ascender on several of the routes, including Excuse Me, Kalamazoo and Kiss the Sky. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Rosebud run to highs around 75°F in May and 79°F in September, with July and August highs near 87°F.
