Perennial notice:
Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk will close Feb. 1 until July 31 for raptor nesting. Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.

Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging).

Description

Teflon Wall is listed for historical purposes only as it is no longer there as of 2019 rockfall mitigation:

The Teflon Wall was a large, pink, 45 degree overhanging wall on the left hand side of the road after passing the Dome parking area. The product of a road cut, its flawless and overhanging nature drew eyes from the winding road up to its soaring pink face. Like a moth to a flame, aid aficionados were beckoned by the lone A4 aid route located here.

Eds. The climbing is probably not legal here. Someday, when they close the road, it may become the next V15.

A. Teflon Wall, A4. Don't do it!

It was destroyed by a 2019 rock fall mitigation project.
