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.
Description
This 70m ice line starts with rambling WI3 and reaches a steeper section with a rightward traverse at WI4 to WI4+. From here, it eases up a bit and has some good stemming until making it over the lip.
There can be ice in the gully above. Follow it up and left, eventually getting onto steep snow, cutting across a ridge, and traversing into the top of the Cosley-Houston finish.
