Endless Summer Wall is a sport climbing area in Montana's Custer Gallatin National Forest, within the Bozeman Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land. The climbing here is all sport, and the routes run from about 5.9 up to 5.12b, with a median grade of 5.10c. Several of the routes have names that reflect the wall's title, including Endless Summer itself and Goodbye Blue Sky, which was first climbed by Brett Jessen in 2003. July is the warmest month, with typical highs around 78°F and lows near 41°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Big Sky. That station sits about 1,000 feet below the wall, so temperatures up high run cooler. Winters are cold, with January highs averaging around 30°F. Scorched Earth, a climbing area, is just 0.1 mile away. The Sheep Rock hike is 0.2 mile off. Hantavirus Cave and Indian Ridge are both within a mile. Spire Rock campground is about 2.5 miles away.
