Drone Wall is a sport climbing area in the Spanish Fork Ranger District of Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits among several other climbing spots, hiking routes and campgrounds within a mile or so, making it an easy addition to a day or longer trip in this corner of the forest. The climbing at Drone Wall is all sport, with 14 routes ranging from 5.6 up to 5.13c/d. The hardest of these is Prestidigitator, a 5.13c/d route first climbed by Isaac Caldiero. The rubber Boa is the easiest, at 5.6. A few other named routes include Stinger at 5.9 and Dead Finger at 5.11a. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run highs around 74°F in May and 81°F in September, while July averages climb to about 93°F and winter highs stay near 38°F. Left Fork Days Canyon lies just 0.2 miles away and Cherry campground is about 0.4 miles off. The Asteroid and Seclusion climbing areas are both within a mile.
