Red Dihedral Wall is a sport climbing area in Missouri, about 1.5 miles from the town of Tiff. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, with B: Goblin Grotto, E: Picasso Wall and F: Monet Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The wall holds 13 sport routes, with grades ranging from 5.4 to 5.10d. The easiest is Alpine at 5.4, and the hardest is Holes In The Ceiling at 5.10d. The median grade is 5.10a. The routes are all sport, and the area is best suited to climbers who want to work on a range of sport climbs in a single outing. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Potosi show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 78°F, with July peaking near 86°F. Nearby, the 1000 Steps Trail and Rockywood Trail offer hiking within about 6 miles, and Pike Run, a canoeing route, is about 8 miles away.
