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.
General NPS climbing regulations for RMNP posted here.

Description
Approach the Ships Prow from Chasm Lake and come to the obvious, left-leaning chimney/ramp. 30' left of this is a shallow left-facing dihedral with a thin crack, 40' up this is a flake/roof to the right.
P1. (5.10d, 130') Climb up the previously described dihedral, continuing up past the flake, which if taken offers a 5.9 escape). Past the flake, set small gear and do thin moves - this was done on lead as a smear and layback to the left side and followed as a shallow stem to the right. Both felt like 5.10+. The topo from Gillett suggests that as the dihedral curves right to top-out into the chimney, that you follow it, but this was wet and reeked of decaying vegetation. Instead, we climbed up and left through some bulges to reach a second crack (5.9, S?) and then up to level with the top of the top chockstone of the chimney, then right, then under it, and up to the top of the loose rock in it to a 2 pin- belay on the right.
P2-? Continue on Portal or Ship Of Fools.
Retreat if necessary: a few slings and a rapid-link or two could convert the fixed pin belay into a rap station.

Protection
The route requires pro from small stoppers (RP or equiv) to 2.5". much of the pitch is above small stoppers that may have been placed blind and may not be that great. Gillett (FA party) suggests lowe-balls in his book, but I found that brass HB taipers (not offsets) and such worked the best due to the small placement availability
