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
Refugium was one of the "new" routes to be put up on Arrowhead in the last few years. Although this route has some nice pitches. I'd strongly disagree with the three stars this route received in the new Gillett guide.
If you come to do this route, make sure you do another route in the same day. This is the only way I could justify the somewhat epic approach. We did Refugium, ran half way down the Summit Ramp and then did Rain Dance starting at its quality pitches.
Much of Refugium's lower half is broken with ramps and ledges. Simul climbing works for you, cruise the first three pitches in one to the base of the 1st 5.8 pitch. From there, you can link the last three pitches in two with a 60m rope. The last three (or two w/60m rope) pitches are the best pitches of the route.
While it's certainly not a three star route. You will be rewarded with over all good rock and some long lost solitude.
