Kotick Memorial Wall is a climbing area in the Columbia Basin Wildlife Area Complex in eastern Washington, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots that sit just steps from one another, so the wall works as a natural anchor for a day spent exploring the surrounding routes. The climbing here is a mix of sport and trad routes, with the hardest grades in the 5.10 range. Sport routes make up the bulk of the area, and the YDS scale runs from 5.5 to 5.10c. Among the named routes are Chimney Divine at 5.5 and Monica's Dress at 5.10a/b, with Carnage in the Temple of the Damned at 5.9+. Several other climbing areas lie about a tenth of a mile away, including Green Wall, Fat and Skinny Man Walls and M & M Wall. The Ridge Trail, about 6 miles off, is the nearest hike.
