Iron Hayden Wall is an alpine climbing area in northern Utah, within the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the wall sits right next to Hayden Peak, with Eddie's High Somewhere just 0.1 mile away. That makes the area a compact cluster of routes rather than a single crag. Alpine climbing is the style here, with 16 routes on record. Grading runs from 5.8 to 5.11c, and the median is around 5.10c. Among the named routes are Killers at 5.8 and Up the Irons at 5.11c. First ascents are listed for many, with Eric Salmi and Julia Salmi credited for Killers in 2008 and the PC Crew for Holy Smoke and Sun & Steel in 2008. The wall pairs easily with other outings in the area. Ruth Lake, a hike about a mile away, and the Highline Spur mountain biking route at about a mile are close by. For overnight stays, Moosehorn campground and Fehr Lake are each about 3.5 miles off.
