Access Issue: 2024 Partial Seasonal Raptor Closures lifted 7/21/24
Details
From the Denver Post 7/21/24: some of the raptor closures have been lifted, officials announced.
Upper & Lower Twin Owls, Rock One, The Book and access trail, Bookmark, and Left Book were opened based on a park new release.
Closures have been extended for Thunder Buttress, access trail, The Parish, Cathedral Wall.
Closures above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond trail have been extended.
Per Brent Frazier: the raptor closures have been lifted in the Lumpy Ridge and Loch Vale Areas ( nps.gov/romo/raptor-closure…)
Each year, Rocky Mountain National Park initiates temporary closures in certain areas of the park to ensure that birds of prey will be undisturbed during their breeding and nesting seasons. These closures begin on February 15 and continue through July 31, if appropriate. Monitoring by park staff and volunteers have determined that all remaining closures can be lifted on July 28, 2023.
Per Matt Coghill: the Golden eagle nesting activity has extended Lumpy closures through Aug. 15, 2022 on Sundance, Thunder Buttress, and Needle Summit!

Description
A good climb with good moves and good rock, but engaging and challenging. Gear is good, but a little insecure to place and certainly tricky to get right. After I backing off from the initial ground-up attempt to lead this climb, Tim Davis attempted the FA under the same conditions and took a 30' fall onto the top 2" cam before the continuous crack ended, stopping about 10 feet from the ground.
After a TR ascent by Tim Davis, and a little cleaning on rap, I went up this line again and dug out and fished in a few more RP placements on lead and small holds, leading this line excited, but not in what I believe was any serious danger...
Start climbing at a crack in the base in a left-facing crack and flake system. After a few good jams a good stance for pro is had. Continue up and right in good cracks and flakes, placing a green camalot in the top of the final crack out right- this pro will be your last easy good pro, and has held a major fall already.
From this last good rest, pull over left into a seam/shallow flake (no pro) and though a huge reach from sloping feet up to a somewhat good horizontal hold. Place a #7 or #8 BD stopper or equiv. from an insecure stance. I forget which size it was, but it was pretty solid.
Fight your way up on the undulating but more or less vertical wall on rounded hands and sloping feet with tiny crystals and slopes between. Place a marginal alien (yellow or green) or a bomber highly-curved nut (WC Sper Rock for me) and continue... Fight in a few small brass nuts and head up a body length of semi-hard climbing to a rest below the lower angle top. Slab your way up (5.9-?) to the top well above gear, but safely to the top of the crag to a huge hueco for a belay or rappel.
