Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Each year, the USFS monitors for raptor nesting.
A pair of golden eagles regularly nest on Bridge Creek Wall. When in effect, starting January 1, PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB or travel within 1/2 mile of Bridge Creek Wall. As a reference, the climb Condorphamine Addiction is just outside of this 1/2 mile buffer, and is OK to climb still. The closure extends through August 15, but there is active monitoring to determine if the seasonal closure can be lifted earlier.
In 2014, there was an active pair of peregrine falcons at Snow Creek Wall, but no official closure was put in effect due to the location of the falcons. The site will be continually monitored with changes or removal of closures updated as necessary.

Description
The boulder's eponym is a tall overhanging arete that can vaguely be seen from the road.
Getting There
Taller Boulder is roughly 6.1 miles from Icicle Junction (by the 76 gas station and the mini-golf course on the west side of town), on the north side of the road about 100 yards past the Icehouse. A small, blank roof nearly overhanging the right side of the road marks the beginning of the steep, faint approach.
