Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warnings due to current fires, smoke, etc.
Description
To the right of the center route.
P1: Climb a short finger crack in a right-facing corner to a ledge. Above the ledge, climb the chimney, then exit the chimney at a bulge with some awesome steep hands. Follow these cracks to a ledge inside the next chimney, with some fixed pins for the belay (back em up).
P2: Quest your way up the deep chimney. There is no pro for quite some ways, but it's quite secure. Eventually, a second OW/chimney will appear inside one of the walls. Very cool--a chimney inside a chimney. Pull up onto a little pillar, at which point the chimney abruptly switches to a nice hand crack. Follow this to a ledge with chains on the left side.
Supertopo said P1 was 5.8 and P2 was 5.9, but I thought the reverse--5.9 then 5.8.
