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
This route is on the left side of the West Face in a concave section of the wall. (To the right of Dialogue on Zen.) Approach via the Keyhole route but turn left and scramble up a 3rd class gully shortly before you get to the Trough. The slabby start is non-distinct and has many options. The third pitch is wonderful. Look at the beta photo to see where this route goes.
P1. Climb discontinuous cracks on low angle rock to reach the base of a left-facing dihedral.
P2. Follows this dihedral to a belay below a small roof.
P3. Turn the roof and follow the beautiful clean dihedral to the top of the wall.
Some easy scrambling gets you to the summit. Descend via the North Face or the Keyhole Route.
