Access Issue: No Fixed Anchors Permitted
Details
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
A fun romp up sound rock with nice holds where you want them. A short but worthy route which can be lengthened by climbing past one more bolt to an anchor hidden on the upper left side of the tower (this extension is an easy way to set up a top rope the steep west face). Route gets morning to midday sun and goes into shade in the afternoon.
Historical note: the first ascensionist smashed his finger with the hammer on the FA, hence the name.
