Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:
ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
An engaging sequential climb with plenty of bolts and two distinct cruxes that shares an anchor with Wedding Day. Previously a dirty route, this has cleaned up immensely. Loose rock at the top is long gone, however would recommend a stick clip because the easy jugs/flake getting up to and past the first bolt sound very hollow. The first crux is getting off the ledge and involves a brief encounter with a mono. Rest up at a jug pocket and tackle the second crux which climbs close to the arete, though the easiest sequence doesn't actually involve using it at all. Hang on and clip a few more bolts until the sequential pockets give way to a juggy ledge and the anchors.
