B&W Wall is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office in Nevada, about 3.6 miles from Red Rock Canyon Campground. It sits among several other climbing areas, including Stratocaster Area and Wall of Confusion, each about 0.1 mile away, and The Gallery, which is also within a tenth of a mile. The most comfortable months to climb are spring and fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F in April to about 75°F in October, with lows near 47°F and 50°F. That station sits about 360 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures at the wall run slightly cooler. The routes here range from 5.8 to 5.10b, with most around 5.9. Black Streak is a mixed route at 5.8, and The Negative is a trad route at 5.10b. The Wall of Confusion and Stratocaster Area are the closest neighbors, and the Calico Hills Trail is a hike about 0.4 mile away.
