Bumper Wall is a sport climbing area in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, about 5 miles from the town of Moroni. It sits among several other climbing areas, including Eco-Terrorist Wall and Anti-Gravity Rock, each about 0.1 mile away, and Shady Acres Main Wall, also about 0.1 mile off. The climbing here is all sport, with six routes ranging from 5.10c to 5.11d. The easiest are Spray Down, Sprayple and Sugar House, all 5.10c, and the hardest is Mindy at 5.11d. All were first ascended by Glenn Ritter and Joi Matsukawa between 2017 and 2017. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Moroni show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 66°F, while July averages about 89°F and January highs sit near 38°F. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Box Canyon Trail is about 0.2 mile away, and Maple Canyon campground is about 0.8 mile off. The Middle Fork Maple Trail and Right Fork Trail are both within a mile.
