Riverside Walls is a climbing area in Vermont, about a mile from the town of Royalton. It sits right next to Trad Wall, another climbing area just 0.1 mile away, which makes it easy to pair the two for a day of climbing. The area has six routes, four of which are trad and two are boulders. The trad routes run from about 5.10a to 5.10c/d, and the boulders range from V1 to V4. Among the trad routes are Primal Urge at 5.10a and Ambidextrous at 5.10c/d. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woodstock show July highs around 82°F with lows near 57°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. For a change from the rock, the Reservoir path and Kents Ledge trail are both within about a mile. Paddlers can head to the West Branch Ompompanoosuc River, roughly 9 miles away.
