Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure at Newhalem Crags March 1st to mid-July
Details
Peregrine falcons select nest sites on cliffs in the Upper Skagit Valley, including the Climbing Management Areas of Newhalem West (Ryan’s Wall) and Newhalem East. As required in the NPS Superintendent’s Compendium, these areas will be closed to all public from March 1st to July 15th of each year, or until the young falcons have fledged or NPS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. Access Fund, Washington Climbers Coalition and NPS partner on a volunteer raptor monitoring program to determine nesting activity. Contact the NPS and/or WCC for updates.
Description
There are 3- 5.11a pitches on the route, each slighly more devious than the last. The Rock is great, the climbing superb, gear is adequate to good.
Start on Chockstone route then head up left towards ledge with clean slab above. Full 60m
p2 follow clean cracks up slab to corner with wide section to pinch .
p3 is a fun, steep outing up and left through overhangs on fun flakes.
p4 is fierce and not-so-obviously goes up to wild overhang then left and up to easy slabs
