Access Issue: Seasonal Nesting Closure
Details
Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods which typically start April 1st and last through early August. All routes south of Shaman School (Climber's left) will be closed to climbing. Please refer to USFS signage at the crag for the most current closure information. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of full areas, and we ask that climbers respect this privilege by adhering 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

Description
Layback big feature to ledge and then past a crux section with a high clip. Ramble up some easier climbing to a mantle onto a ledge at base of dihedral second crux. Surmount dihedral and finish wandering up left and up past jugs and easier climbing (put long draw on last bolt to reduce drag) to anchors. Fun, varied boulder problems mark this climb but it's ledgy nature takes away from the quality. Best to TR the route to clean draws.
