Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.

Description
Scramble up to a small ledge to the right of Greensleeves, and follow the large, black streak clipping 9 bolts to a left-angling, undercling, finger crack. Climb past a loose block, then cut back right to join the last 10 feet of Pitch Perfect. FYI, I tried to remove the loose block, but it seemed pretty solid. It's fine to pull on, but I wouldn't put a cam behind it.
Only a handful of people I know of have been on this, and it's still awaiting a second lead ascent. Let me know what you think, and enjoy!

Location
It's located on the obvious big black streak to the right of Greensleeves and to the left of Pitch Perfect.
