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
Sweet Sorrow climbs the arete of the column to the right of Two Gentlemen's Pneumonia. I spied this line in late January 2015 and put it up early February. The left face was pretty lichen covered, and I pretty much ruined a stiff brush getting the lichen off the arete. Its pretty clean and very climbable now.
Start on the right crack and climb ~15' past a single bolt to a big ledge that you can easily stand on.
From the ledge, reach up and clip the 2nd bolt. A crux sequence pulls off the ledge past the 2nd bolt and around the arete to the left. Climb really cool and enjoyable .10+ arete moves past 3 more bolts to the top of the column.
