Autumnal Wall is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits in a cluster of climbing spots that also includes the North and West Faces and Dark Star Gully, each about a tenth of a mile away. Routes here range from 5.6 to 5.10a, with most on the trad side, so it works for climbers looking for a mix of traditional and sport options in a compact corner of the district. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Cottonwood Weir, about 2 miles away and roughly 750 feet lower, show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 64°F, while July averages climb to about 91°F. The area has several climbing neighbors. Dark Star Gully and North and West Faces are each about 0.1 mile away, and Mule Hollow offers a hike 0.3 mile off. For an overnight stay, Tanners Flat Campground is about 4.3 miles away.
