Technicolor Wall is a climbing area in Utah on Bureau of Land Management land within the Monticello Field Office. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The Gash about half a mile away and Over the Hill and Dove Creek Wall within a mile and a quarter. The area has 31 routes, mostly traditional climbs with grades from 5.9 up to 5.12b. The boulder route is a single V9. GoldenEye, a 5.10+ trad route, was first climbed by Karl Kelley, and the hardest route listed is Unnamed 12- at 5.12b. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 67°F in April to 70°F in October, while July highs average about 95°F. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures here run cooler. Nearby, Donnelly Canyon Trail is about 2.5 miles away and Indian Creek offers canoeing at about 3.8 miles. For an overnight stay, Superbowl Campground is about 6.4 miles off.
