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
This route is really nice and makes for a nice short day in the park. After the first 80 feet, the rock is really good and the climbing fun.
1) Climb nebulous terrain for about 140 feet to below and right of a 25 or 30 foot wide, gray, rectangular plaque. 5.7R.
2) Climb up a slightly overhung handcrack 10 feet right of the gray plaque. When it ends on a ledge, follow an easier flake with a wide crack up and left to near its end. 5.10-.
3) From the end of the flake, climb straight up following intermittent cracks to a ledge after 50 feet. Traverse right along the ledge, continuing where it ends to the first shallow dihedral. Follow the dihedral up to a sloping ledge on the left below an overhanging fist crack. 5.8R.
4) Climb the overhang and continue up the prominent, wide, left-facing corner crack. This pitch ends near the top of Blackstar. 5.9 (without a fair amount of wide gear this is a little runout).
Descend by traversing the large treed ledge until one can descend to the trail.

Location
The route starts about 50 feet left of the gully of Womb With a View. Look for an obvious, left-leaning flake system that starts about 200 feet up and a prominent, left-facing corner system right of the finish of Blackstar.
