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. Check this site for details:

Description
Starts on a short crack. Edge past two cut bolts and finish up a left facing dihedral. The crux is at the start of the dihedral. The route protects well. Use double length slings to build an anchor on a big horn at the top of the route.
The walk off or top rope hike up option is to climbers left before the start of the Reproductive Wall.
Location
Walk along the Reproductive Wall on the north side of the Crooked River until you see a route with two cut bolts above midway up. If you come across fully bolted routes you've gone 5 routes too far.
Protection
Gear to 3" Optional to 3.5" Sling horns for anchors.
