Ice wall is a climbing area in Missouri, about 2.7 miles from the town of Bullion. It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, which makes it easy to pair with other routes in the same stretch of the state. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Kirksville show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 65°F, while July averages climb to about 86°F. Several climbing areas lie just 0.1 mile away, including the Dorian area, Jolimont and the New Bouldering Area. For a change of pace, the Office Trail is about 5.9 miles off, and the North Fork Salt River offers canoeing roughly 9.3 miles away.
