Rock City Wall is a climbing area in the Tiller Ranger District of Oregon's Umpqua National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Valhalla and (.1) Bone Yard both about a tenth of a mile away, making it easy to pair with other routes in the same stretch. The area is sport climbing only, with 11 routes in total, and grades run from 5.8 up to 5.13. Pavlova is the easiest, at 5.8, and Summerwind is the hardest, at 5.13. The median grade is around 5.10d, so the wall offers a range from lower to more advanced climbers. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Sexton Summit weather station, about 26 miles away, show July and August highs near 77°F with only about two wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and rain on roughly half the days. Threehorn Campground is about 4 miles away for an overnight stay, and Trail Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 5 miles off.
