Straight Shooter Wall is a climbing area in Nevada's Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock/Sloan Field Office. It sits within the wilderness, about 0.2 miles from the Stick Gully and Brass Wall climbing areas and the Flight Path Area. The climbing here is a mix of trad and sport routes, with 10 routes in total. Seven are trad and three are sport, and the grades run from 5.7 up to 5.11. Bird Crack is a 5.10d trad route, and Slabba Dabba Doo is a 5.11b sport route. The median grade is 5.10d. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 70°F and October highs around 75°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Pine Creek Trail and Dale's Trail are both within half a mile. Red Rock Canyon Campground is about 6 miles away.
