Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Nesting Warning
Details
Season Raptor Nesting
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Description
Start from a good but small stance halfway up the large boulder between Walking the Plank (aka The Buzz) and Pirated (look for the belay bolt with a tan hanger.) Alternatively, belay from ground level underneath this belay bolt.
Pull up onto the slab and clip a number of bolts as the route gets steeper. This section is bolted pretty tightly on account of still-cleaning-up rock and the slab below.
Crank hard on cool pockets and holds with the occasional smaller hold, passing intermittent vertical cracks, up to the massive cobble with the fixed draw. Steep, harder moves past the huge cobble lead to licheny rock and the anchors.
