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
Teasing Hank is link-up of the first 10 bolts of A Big Tease into the last 4 bolts of the Hank Collins Memorial Route.
Start as for A Big Tease working up the moderate face to the bottom of the crack. Enter into the crack of good holds and finger locks, clip the long fixed draw, and make the committing run to the jug over the roof. After clipping the second fixed draw, follow the diagonal traverse left to a good rest at bolt 10. (Extending this draw and the first you come to as you traverse left from here into the other route is very helpful.)
After clipping bolt 10 on A Big Tease, move left then up clipping the last 4 bolts and anchors of the Hank Collins Memorial Route. Expect more committing climbing, generous bolt spacing, and a few cruxy moves moving past the last bolt.
Location
Start is the same as for A Big Tease
Protection
14 Bolts (two are fixed) with steel clippable anchors on top.
