Fourth Class Wall is a climbing area on Clackamas County land in Oregon, about 7.5 miles from Oregon City. It sits among several other named walls, with Orange Wall and Main Wall each about 0.1 mile away, so it works well as part of a day spent exploring the cluster. The area has six routes, four of which are trad and two sport. Grades run from 5.9 up to 5.12, with the hardest route, Severed Heads, a sport climb at 5.12. Short but Sweet is a trad route at 5.10+ with a first ascent by Chuck Buzzard and John Long in 1987, and Cult of Personality is a sport route at 5.10d. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Oregon City show July and August highs around 84°F with lows near 57°F, while winter highs sit in the upper 40s.
