Endless Wall is a climbing area in New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia, managed by the National Park Service. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas, including the K) Scream Seam Area and the M) Fantasy Area, each about 0.1 mile away, along with the J) Snake Buttress. The climbing here is a mix of styles, with 17 routes covering trad, sport and bouldering. Typical grades run from about 5.4 for the trad route Reed's Ladder up to 5.12c for the sport route Fiesta Grande, and the bouldering peaks around V10. That makes it a destination for climbers of many abilities and preferences. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 75°F in May and 68°F in October, while July highs reach about 84°F. The station sits roughly 360 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures at the cliff run a little cooler. The Endless Wall Climbers' Access Trail is about half a mile away, and the Endless Wall Trail is about 0.6 mile away. For paddling, Manns Creek is about 6.8 miles off.
