The Wake-Up Wall is a climbing area in Nevada on Bureau of Land Management land within the Red Rock/Sloan Field Office. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with The Numbers Crag, Sonic Youth Cliff and The Walrus all about 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. 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 here run a little cooler. The area has 28 routes, mostly sport climbing with a few trad options. Grades range from 5.8 to 5.12c, with Stand and Deliver at 5.12c and Skid Mark at 5.9+ among the standouts. Turtlehead Peak is a hike about 0.2 mile away, and Red Rock Canyon Campground is roughly 4.6 miles off.
