Over the Measles Wall is a climbing area in New York's Wilcox Lake Wild Forest, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of other climbing areas, including Upper Measles Wall, Measles Walls and Wayout Wall, each about 0.1 mile away. The Crane Mountain Path is also close by. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb here. A nearby weather station records typical July averages of 75°F for highs and 54°F for lows, and the station sits lower than this spot, so temperatures on the wall run cooler. The routes here range from trad climbs on the easier end to a sport route at 5.11a. Five routes are listed, with grades from 5.4 to 5.11a. The Flu is the easiest, and Resistant Strain is the hardest. Trickagnosis and Mixamotosis are both trad, and Jungle Rot is a sport climb.
