Seasonal Raptor Closure MORE INFO >>> The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Just to the climbers right of Purgatory and up the hill about fifty feet lies a small chunk of rock with a nice finger to thin hand sized crack going right up the middle. Although short this is probably the best route on these rocks. Work your way up about twenty feet of fingery liebacking, a short section of hand jams, and then onto some unprotected face climbing for about 10 to 15 feet.

Protection 

Small cams and stoppers. Theres a big solid tree up top if you want to set up a toprope or just bring up your second.
