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
The Opossum is the highest of the Marsupial formations that are in line with Brogan Spire, and the Tail sits just below it. The Wombat looms above them.
These formations are notable for their remarkable position, but not for the routes that they hold. To date, few lines reach the summits, although there is certainly potential for more. Perhaps they will even be good, as the rock is not uniformly atrocious.
