Access Issue: Climbing Regulations/Seasonal Raptor Closures Details

Description

This is the hairline fracture on the left side of the N. Face of Darwin Dome. Because is is very thin, and doesn't taper much at all, pins are useful, can be driven in easily, and seem to be solid and fairly easy to remove as well.

Location

left side of the N. Face of Darwin Dome.

Protection

Thin stuff, some longer LAs (maybe 4 or so) and some QDs for the pieces. I think there is some copperhead or something fixed at the top. There is a 2 bolt anchor to lower off at the top too.
