Access Issue: Potentially unavailable to climbing February through July if raptors are breeding here. Details

This area is historically used by nesting falcons, hawks, owls or other raptors. Breeding season varies but is roughly February through July. Nesting raptors are protected by law.

If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.

Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description

This is one of those routes that appears impossibly blank from the ground, feels thin and desperate the first attempt, and seems like a casual jug haul when you send. As with all finesse routes it is difficult to grade as there is limited physical exertion and the movement is subtle. The difficulty is inconsistent with a pronounced crux. This route is a modern clip up, unlike some of its mentally taxing neighbors.

Location

This route is located on the uphill, left side, of the wall. It is the second route from the left. It starts to the left of a vertical seam and is nestled between two small trees.
