Access Issue: Potentially unavailable to climbing February through July if raptors are breeding here.
Details
This area is historically used by nesting falcons, hawks, owls or other raptors. Breeding season varies but is roughly February through July. Nesting raptors are protected by law.
If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
Tyler McMillen's old guidebook...
"Even when your shoes are sticking to the pavement in the valley, you can always find cool temps at the top of the mountain. At 9000 feet, the Summit Boulders offer a respite from the brutal summertime heat in Tucson.
In the early to mid '80's numerous boulder problems were done in the vicinity of The Ravens and Rappel Rock. Many of these problems were toprope problems, and in the mid '90's, several of these were bolted, and have thus become routes. The Murray Wall is an example of this. There are also a number of problems that can be bouldered without a rope."
