Shady Acres Main Wall is a sport climbing area in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, about 5 miles from the town of Moroni. It sits among several other climbing areas, including Shady Acres and Eco-Terrorist Wall, all within a tenth of a mile. The wall's routes run from about 5.10b to 5.11c on the YDS scale, with most around 5.11a/b. Seven sport routes make up the area, and the hardest is Budapest at 5.11c. The first ascents of most of them were made by Brian Behle and his climbing partners in 2020. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Moroni show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 66°F, while July averages about 89°F and January highs sit near 38°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Box Canyon Trail starts about 0.2 miles away, and Maple Canyon campground is under a mile off. The San Pitch River, about 9 miles away, offers paddling.
