This cliff is a Native American (Greenville Rancheria) sacred site and as such, fixed anchors are not allowed. Previously established fixed anchors have been removed. Any and all climbing should be done with natural gear anchors.
2017-2023 Seasonal Raptor Closure: Entire Cliff Area
U.S. Forest Service Seasonal Raptor Closure for Peregrine Falcon and Golden Eagle Nesting:
Moonlight Crags has a seasonal closure from Feb 1 to July 15 for a five year period in an effort to encourage cliff use by nesting raptors. This period may be extended on a year-by-year basis if fledgling birds are present later.
During this time please respect the closure buffer and avoid disturbance, keep noise to a minimum, and use your best judgment to gauge and mitigate your impact.
Successful nesting raptors will not negatively impact climbing access in the long-term, but disrespecting the seasonal closures will. Moonlight Cliffs is open to public access throughout the rest of the year.

Description
The start is easier than it looks. Trend up and left heading towards the skyline. Second pitch is fun and should be linked with the first pitch, but you need to be prepared to bring your second all the way up if you want to climb the pitch.
A belay bolt mediates the poor belay stance, but the belayer can also comfortably stand back towards the large rock away from the wall and have secure footing.
WARNING: From the second anchors, rappel the route. Do NOT rappel straight down the fall line, a 70 meter rope will leave you 30 feet off the ground with exposed and dangerous down climbing on loose rock. A 60 meter rope would leave you dangling in space.
