Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Nesting Warning Details

Season Raptor Nesting
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Description

This one climbs a little different than most of the climbs on Rad Wall. Start at the right side of the in ground flake, climb through the first 2 bolts enduring a mini crux passing the second bolt. From here beware those aren't jugs like they look like from the ground.

Head up and slightly right passing the crimpy hard crux, once past that rest when possible and climb through an easier crux towards the top.

Location

Start between Stroke Me and Crack Attack. Starts on the right side of a large flake sticking out of the ground.

Protection

Seven bolts to chains with lower biners. As of April 2020, 5th bolt has a fixed cable draw to facilitate cleaning (the leader clips her/his rope into the permadraw on the way down while cleaning) and negates the swing into the trees behind.

As the comments here detail, there used to be a a good run out between bolts 1 and 2 which could result in a kinda ugly fall in that area. However, with the FA's permission, a bolt was added between these two bolts (Spring 2021) in a logical clip stance area making for a much more enjoyable and safe experience.
