Giving Tree Wall is a sport climbing area in the Powder River Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Leigh Creek and the Psychoactive Wall areas just 0.1 mile away, and Leigh Creek Campground about half a mile off. The climbing here is all sport, and the routes run from 5.8 up to 5.12+. The easiest is Invisible House at 5.8, and the hardest is Peppermint Wind at 5.12a. The median grade is 5.11, so climbers looking for a range of challenges will find it here. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Tensleep put July highs around 88°F with lows near 57°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through February. That station sits about 950 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the rock run cooler.
