Right Wall is a bouldering area in Clark Reservation State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among several other climbing spots, with Flying Whale Boulder, Lake Gulley and Main Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 11 routes on the V0 to V2 scale. Barkeater, Javelin and The Library are all V0, and Lichen Likin' and Taco Tuesday sit at V1-2 and V2-. The routes are short and low, making them a good fit for a day of bouldering close to the park's other climbing areas. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Syracuse run from highs around 77°F in June to about 82°F in July, with September easing back to the low 70s. Winter is cold, with January highs near 32°F and lows around 16°F. The Lake Trail is about 0.4 mile away, and the Erie Canalway Trail (Dewitt to Chittenango) is roughly 4.3 miles off. Paddlers can reach the Onondaga Lake Circumnavigation, about 8.7 miles away, and the Erie Canal Water Trail, about 9.7 miles away.
