5.10 Wall is a climbing area in Hinckley Reservation in Ohio, on city land. It sits among several other climbing spots, including Main Wall, Isle of Many Faces and Beer Can Alley, all within about a tenth of a mile. The area has seven routes, with four top-roped climbs and three boulders. The top-roped routes run from about 5.9+ to 5.11, with the median grade at 5.10. The boulders sit in the V2 to V3 range. Among the top-roped routes are Truth is the Way at 5.10 and Ignoramus at 5.11, which is listed as a project. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Stow run from highs around 70°F in May to about 74°F in September, with July highs near 82°F. Paddlers can head to Yellow Creek, about 6 miles away, and hikers can try the Tree Farm Trail or Deer Lick Cave Trail, both roughly 7 to 8 miles off.
