Party Wall is a climbing area in Harriman State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among several other named climbing areas, including Gravitas, Vulnerability Corner and Snake Hole Right, all within a tenth of a mile. The area has eight routes, four sport and four mixed, with grades ranging from 5.3 up to 5.10b/c. Some of the more notable ones are Free Fall Corner (5.3), Party Crack (5.8+), and Cobweb Massacre (5.10b/c), the hardest route listed. For a visit, summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wanaque Raymond Dam, New Jersey, run to highs around 84°F in July, while September cools to about 76°F with fewer wet days. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the park, so temperatures on the rock may run slightly cooler.
