Right Wall is a climbing area in Pennsylvania, about half a mile from the town of Breakneck. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, including Main Wall, Breakneck and Cannabis Boulder (AKA The Lower Slab), all within a tenth of a mile. That makes it easy to pair with other routes in the same area. The climbing here is mostly sport, with a few trad and top-rope options. Five routes are listed, and they all sit in the 5.7 to 5.9 range. Bio-fear and Nemosis are both sport routes, and Finger Crack is a trad climb. Resurrection is a top-rope route. Fool's Gold is the hardest at 5.9. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Connellsville show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 84°F. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run a little cooler. Mountain Pines Campground is about 10 miles away for an overnight stay, and the West Overton Village Trail is roughly 6 miles off for a hike.
