Description Suggest change

This brilliantly-colored wall features a handful of steep, hard routes that see shade most of the day due to the aspect of the wall and the large evergreens in the area. The climbing is characterized by perfect patina between right-leaning slashes. The nature of the features makes it difficult to keep your feet underneath you, and each route is a fight to stave off a deep pump before gaining the anchors.

Getting There Suggest change

The Technicouloir is tucked into the same set of corridors as the Chuck Norris Wall and the Hall Of Fame. Expect a 40-50 minute approach, potentially more if this is your first time in the area. The myriad of trails can be somewhat confusing, but the climbing and shady aspect are completely worth the approach.

From the Devil's Head Fire Lookout trailhead, hike up the main tourist trail, cross the creek, and keep an eye out for the first switchback with a picnic table on right. Veer left off the main trail onto a climber's trail that meanders across the hillside, cuts down and up a valley, and eventually traverses across the northeast side of the mountain. The first major intersection provides access to the Sawblade Ridge section (right fork) or the Sidewalk in the Sky section (left fork). Go left, and gently climb up the valley until you have reached a 5 way intersection: the right fork goes to Morning Glory, the straight trail drops down another valley, slight left to Sidewalk in the Sky, and a hard left gains a saddle that drops you down to the Technicouloir. After the saddle, the trail angles down and right towards a collection of corridors. The first trail to the right is Chuck Norris Wall, the second is Hall of Fame, and the third is Terrarium North. Continue down past these until you spot the brilliant yellow, grey, green, and red colors that are the namesake of The Technicouloir.
