2nd Meat Wall is a climbing area in Utah on Bureau of Land Management land within the Monticello Field Office. It sits among a cluster of similar-named walls, with Original Meat Wall and Tenderloins Wall each about half a mile away and 1st Meat Wall about 0.6 miles off. The area is managed by the BLM. The climbing here is all trad, with one mixed route, and the grade range runs from 5.9+ up to 5.13. Among the 50 routes, Evening Ecstacy is 5.9+, The Potato is 5.10, and Hot Pork Sundae is 5.13. Extra Lean, a 5.12- route, was first climbed by Steve Steats. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Canyonlands-The Needles show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 70°F, while July averages about 95°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. For an overnight base, Superbowl Campground is about 2.2 miles away. Indian Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.6 miles off. Donnelly Canyon Trail and Davis Canyon are both about 6.8 miles away.
