Details
"Drop the Hammer on Memorial Wall is currently under closure for peregrine nesting season.
Eagles, falcons, hawks, and migratory birds build nests in shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls, often returning to the same site year after year. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition request that climbers avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods (typically April through early August).
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service @ 928-526-0866 and ask to speak with a biologist."

Description
Climb the obvious splitter crack. Starts thinner and then quickly becomes sustained steep hands for the majority of the route. If you like hand cracks, this is your route.
Location
Shares a belay with Seamingly Binary. Right next to the Hobel Memorial are two large ponderosas. Rappel off the west most one down a loose mini gully to a ledge at the base of the SB seams. Couple #3s for the belay. From the belay take a step climber's right to the crack system above the sloping diving board.
