Picasso Wall is a climbing area in Missouri, about 1.5 miles from the town of Tiff. It sits among a cluster of named walls, with D: Red Dihedral Wall and F: Monet Wall each about 0.1 mile away, and G: Van Gogh Wall at the same distance. The area is a hub of sport climbing, with 16 routes spread across the walls. The routes run from about 5.7 to 5.12c on the YDS scale, so climbers can find options for a range of abilities. Among the named routes are Guernica at 5.8, Puttin' On The Ritz at 5.11b and Crescendo at 5.12c. The sport style dominates, and the walls are close enough together to make it easy to move between them. For a change from the rock, the 1000 Steps Trail and Rockywood Trail are both within about 6 miles. Paddlers can head to Pike Run, about 8 miles away.
