Seasonal raptor closure at Monument Area MORE INFO >>> Rock climbing is not allowed 1/4 mile either side of the Monument due to a nesting pair of Golden Eagles. The birds are using Staender Ridge as a perch therefore it is also within the closure area. The trail which is on the backside of the Monument is open to through traffic, but hiking is not allowed around the cliff faces. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Shirley leading Toy Blocks.

Description 

Toy Blocks climbs the obvious traversing hand crack that starts immediately left of Ring Of Fire. Move up to the crack (can clip a bolt on the new bolted 10b) and follow it rightward. After about 15 feet of diagonal traversing, move up via a thin hand crack. Climb up this intermittent crack system alternating between face moves and cracks in the acute dihedral (crux). Watch for a bit of hollow-sounding rock here & a small, movable block near the top. Move left at top to bolted anchor.

Location 

Combination Blocks area on east side of Christian Brothers formation.

Protection 

Double set of cams to #2 Camalot. Additional finger sized pieces might be useful.
