Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
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
This short route packs a punch with short bouldery cruxes that vary in style on excellent quality rock. Start up the slab to the 2nd bolt (5.9) and work into the first crux. Find out whether you want to dyno or look for a static sequence to get to a giant jug. Traverse out off the jug into the overhanging into a stemming crux and continue to work out left past the roof. Once established above the roof, the climbing eases off, but there is still one last move to establish yourself above all the hard climbing, I fell here 5 times on point. I also watched professional climbers fall all over this climb and go onsight Rude Boys (5.13b R).
...So expect a hard route for the grade!! Damn old school sandbaggers!
