Taint Wall is a climbing area in Milton Reimers Ranch Park, a county-managed park in Texas. It is one of several walls clustered close together within the park, so it fits easily into a day spent moving between nearby crags. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to climb here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run about 72°F for highs in March and 80°F in October, while summer highs average in the mid-90s by August. Within about a tenth of a mile are Oblivion Wall, Dr. Seuss / Prototype Wall and Landfill Wall. For a change from climbing, the Pedernales Falls Trail System is roughly 8 miles away.
