Warrior Wall is a climbing area in Oregon's Rocky Butte Natural Area, a city-managed natural area. It sits among several other named climbing areas, including Far East Wall and Wizard Wall, each about 0.1 mile away, and Mean Street, also about 0.1 mile off. The cluster makes it easy to string together a day of climbing on different walls. The routes here run from about 5.10a to 5.13a, with trad, sport and top-rope options. Sheer Madness is a 5.10a sport route, and Boy Sage is a 5.10d trad route. The hardest listed is UnNamed, a top-rope at 5.13a. The area also has a mix of styles, with five trad routes, three sport routes and three top-rope routes among the 11 listed. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 82°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. For a change from the rock, Fenceline Trail is about a mile away, and Wheels to Wings Trail is roughly 2.4 miles off. Paddlers can head to Beaver Creek, about 9 miles away.
