Wildfire Wall is a climbing area in Oregon, about 2.5 miles from the town of Terrebonne. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Jungle Land, Parched Cat Cliff (aka Cox Rocks) and Star Wall all within about a tenth of a mile. That makes it easy to pair with other routes in the same stretch of crag. The area has 35 routes, with trad climbing making up 21 of them and sport climbing 14. Grades run from 5.8+ up to 5.13b, with the median around 5.11. Some of the named routes include Mad Man (5.8+ trad), Bold Line (5.10+ trad) and Kung Fu Hustle (5.13b sport). For a change from the rock, Canyon Trail and Homestead Trail are both about 0.4 miles away. Skull Hollow campground is roughly 3.8 miles off, and Haystack Lake campground is about 8.6 miles away.
