Andy Boy Wall is a climbing area in New Mexico's Sandia Mountain Wilderness, within the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest, which the Forest Service manages. The surrounding wilderness and national forest land put it in a remote, backcountry setting. The area is a compact cluster of routes, with five climbing lines spread close together. Three are trad routes and two are mixed, and the grades run from 5.9 up to 5.11a. Bob's Big Boy is a mixed route at 5.10+, and Would You Like Fries With That is a trad route at 5.10+ with a first ascent in summer 2013. Several other climbing areas sit about 0.1 mile away, including Hole in the Wall, La Cueva Canyon, Upper and My Secret Garden. For a change from the rock, the Crest House Spur Trail is about 0.2 mile away.
