Orangutan Wall is a sport climbing area in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Engagement Alcove, Billy the Kid Wall and Pictograph Wall all about 0.1 mile away, and the Middle Fork Maple Trail just as close. The climbing here is all sport, with 12 routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.10c. The easiest are Don't Feed The Monkey at 5.7 and Turbo Fly at 5.8, both first ascents by Jason Stevens. At the top end, The Angel's Share is 5.10c, done by Jim Stone and Jeff Baldwin. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Moroni weather station run from highs around 71°F in May to 79°F in September, while July highs average 89°F and January highs sit near 38°F. That station sits about 1,300 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. The San Pitch River, about 9.5 miles away, offers paddling.
