Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure: Noontime and Midnight Rock
Details
Every year, Midnight Rock and Noontime Rock are seasonally closed for Peregrine falcon nesting, April 1st through approximately July 31st, or or until the young falcons have fledged or FS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. More info at fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DO…
Description
The name of a route may be an encapsulation of the type of climbing encountered or emotions evoked during an ascent. While pulling into the wide crack / chimney at the roof and securing myself with a knee bar, thoughts of being devoured by a unseen entity crept into my mind. Because the crack is quite wide this route may be easier to climb in hiking boots with vibram soles.
Location
Begin in a dihedral just around the corner from a bolted face to crack climb (Twilight Zone) on the Dead End Ledge and continue straight up through the overhanging roof that is left of Easter Overhang. Rappel from the ROTC / Stevens Pass Motel anchors back to the Dead End Ledge in two rappels.
