Access Issue: 2025 ACCESS ALERT!: Nesting Raptors - GOLDEN EAGLE Avoidance Areas.
Details
Access Alert: 2024 GOLDEN EAGLE AVOIDANCE AREA
-2024 Golden Eagle Avoidance Areas: The Early Bird Crag, The Frontera, The Undertaker Wall, The Sushi Bar, The Great Chasm
Each spring Golden Eagles return to Maple Canyon for nesting. Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The United States Forest Service (USFS) requests that visitors and recreationists avoid these areas during critical nesting periods which typically start in early March and last through late August. Avoiding recreational activity in the vicinity of the nest sites along and maintaining a safe viewing distance will help ensure survival of young birds.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.

Description
The Compound is a steep, North facing crag with about 20 routes between 5.11 and 5.14.
Since the cave has a large shelf at half height most of the routes stop at about 60 feet. The routes are the perfect middle ground between the intensely bouldery stuff found in Box Canyon, and the mega pumpy endurance fests at the Pipe Dream.
Like most areas at Maple, this area is still cleaning up, so don't stand below people when they are climbing.

Getting There
If you don't have a 4 wheel drive car, park at the top of the groomed Canyon Road near the Right Fork trail and continue up the semi-steep, rough Canyon Road another 15 minutes until you reach a sharp left and then a sharp right turn. After the right turn you will see an obvious trail on your left that leads up a dirt slope. Follow this trail for 5 minutes to the base of the Compound. If you have a 4 wheel drive car, you can drive all the way to the small trail that cuts off the main road.
This road has very little shade. So be ready to suffer in the sun if you visit in the Summer.
