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.
North of the Picket Range
The Chilliwack Range is north of Hannegan Pass, clustered around the neve of the Redoubt Glacier.
Bear Mountain's north face buttresses, Mount Redoubt's Flying Buttress, and the east face of SE Mox Peak stand out as rock climber objectives. Extreme backpacking is required and the rock is not perfect.
