Brighton's Frighton Wall is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District and managed by the Forest Service. It sits close to the Brighton Area and Tahoe Simulator climbing areas, both about 0.2 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Silver Lake, about 0.6 miles away, run to highs near 72°F and lows around 47°F in July. That station sits about 600 feet below the wall, so temperatures up high run cooler. The area has 12 routes, 10 of them trad and two sport. The YDS grades range from 5.8 to 5.10d. Fin Of Fear (5.8) and Twinkie's Hatchet (5.10a) are two of the named routes. Scream Seam is another 5.10a trad climb.
