Selfish Wall is a climbing area in Utah, on land managed by the State Land Board, and it sits in a cluster of rock with other climbing areas close by. Six Star Wall is just 0.4 miles away, and Public Service Wall and Shock and Awe are each about 0.8 miles off, so the surrounding rock offers plenty to pair with a day here. The climbing is trad-heavy, with 44 trad routes and one mixed route among the 45 listed. Grades run from 5.6 up to 5.12, with the median at 5.10. Brotherly Love (5.6) and Junes Box (5.9+) are good entries for climbers looking for something a bit more moderate, and Mean Black Dog (5.12) represents the harder end of the range. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Canyonlands-The Needles, about 10 miles away, show May highs around 77°F and October highs near 70°F, while July averages climb to about 95°F. Indian Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.7 miles away, and Superbowl Campground is about 3.2 miles off for anyone planning an overnight stay.
