Mighty Wall is a sport climbing area in the Mountainair Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Radical Wall, Bulge Wall and Power Wall all about a mile away. The climbing here is all sport, and the routes run from 5.5 to 5.11+. The easiest is Monkey Clip at 5.5, and the hardest is Spank That Monkey at 5.11+. The median grade is 5.8, so the area suits climbers looking for a range of sport routes rather than a single grade. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 68°F, while July and August bring highs near 88°F and the most wet days of the year. The Manzano Crest Trail and Capilla Peak Road are both within about 3 miles, and Fourth of July Campground is about 8 miles away.
