Graveside Matter Wall is a climbing area in Utah, about 6 miles from the town of North View. It sits among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots, with the Rappel Wall Area and Flannigan Boulder both about 0.1 mile away and the Blowhard Trail at a similar distance. The area has two sport routes, Fallout at 5.11- and Death to Smootchie at 5.12a. Both are sport climbs, and the grades put them in the 5.11 range. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 85°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run cooler. The Virgin River Rim Trail is about 1.7 miles away, and Deer Haven campground is about 3 miles off. Farther out, Coal Creek offers canoeing about 6.5 miles away, and Navajo Lake is about 8.7 miles away.
