Bug Barn Dance Wall is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the wall sits close to two other climbing areas, Endor Wall and the Galaxy Area, both about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all sport, with 12 routes spread across grades from 5.9 to 5.11b. The easiest is Darkness at Seven, a 5.9, and the hardest is Redneck Genocide, a 5.11b. Cambrian Grey, a 5.10c, and Raid, a 5.10d, fall in the middle of that range. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Provo put May highs around 76°F and October highs around 68°F, while July peaks near 95°F and winter brings frequent snow days. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Kyhv Peak Trail are both within a mile. Hope campground is about 2.7 miles away, and Mill Race offers canoeing about 4.3 miles out.
