The West Wall is a climbing area in Eden Park, Ohio, on city land. It sits within the Eden Park land unit, and The East Wall lies just 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is a mix of bouldering and sport routes, with a few top-rope options, and the area is close enough to the Cincinnati airport to make an easy stop for climbers passing through. The routes are rated in the 5.9- range on the YDS scale and V1 to V2 on the V scale. Three of them are listed by name: Creggy, a top-rope route, and two sport routes, Unknown Right Lead and Untitled Lead. The bouldering is the most common style here, with three boulder problems. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages reach 87°F.
