Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:
ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
Spartacus is a quality route, with sustained difficulty and mostly excellent rock. Begin with an unusual move to a large fang. Undercling the fang and move left to a good sloper. Mantle the subtle ledge, then up to killer knobs under the shallow roof. Moving past this roof & the third bolt is the crux. A pair of good edges up & left lead to a vertical slot in a shallow seam, and a few more tenous moves to get established above the roof.
Once above the roof, continue up rounded flakes & quintessential Smith knobs, past a few large pockets towards the top of the wall. The rock deteriorates substantially near the top. Several fractured blocks guard the finishing mantle.
