Main Wall is a climbing area in Rhode Island, about 2 miles from the town of Arcadia. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Mt. Tom and 3 Walls each about 0.1 mile away, and The First Wall (Warm Up Wall) at a similar distance. The area is a compact hub for climbers, with several named walls and routes within a short walk of one another. The climbing here is a mix of top rope and trad routes, with a few bouldering problems. Five routes are listed, and they run from about 5.7 to 5.10- on the YDS scale. Quartz is a 5.7 top rope, Diagonal Climb is a 5.8-, and Unknown 5.10 is a 5.10- top rope. The bouldering is rated V2-3. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coventry show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, while July averages about 85°F. Brooke Trail and Shawn's Eagle are both about a mile away for hiking, and Wood River offers river fishing about 1.6 miles off.
