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
Cows in Agony is a one pitch sport route on the center of the Mesa Verde Wall, just uphill and south from the excellent Reason to Be.
Start just right of a wide crack. Opening moves are tough, consider stick clipping the first bolt. Continue up, staying left of the bolt line. I hate to use the word 'contrived' but this one really felt it. I was way left following the holds and making big reaches right to clip. This route inexplicably gets three stars in the new Watts guide.
Step to center at the final bolt and execute a neat sequence to top out on the ledge and clip the old anchor.
