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
Visible from the parking lot, it's truly phenomenal that it took so many years before this World Class cliff got the attention it deserved.
The West Wall of the Kangaroo is Ri-Freaking-diculous!
Check it out, it's worth the hike.
Oh! And did I mention it gets a fair amount of shade and a cool breeze.
What's that, 5.14 FAs in July?!?!
