Access Issue: Seasonal Peregrine Falcon Closure Details

Since 2016, peregrine falcons have made the Grand Auditorium their breeding ground. A voluntary closure is in place from Feb. 1st - June 30, 2023. This is not a legal closure, but a suggested one for respect of the birds. Since the viewshed of this area is wide open, they are easily disturbed by people approaching, especially from above. Do not take the Grand Auditorium trail descent, and please keep a conservative distance from below.

Description

Can start from below on the trail, climb up some easy pitches then to the comfy ledge next to #328 Via del Drago.
If you look up from the ledge,you can spot a wide crack above.
Climb the same start with #Handsome Devil. after 3 meter or so,traverse to the left then you'll find yourself right under the wide crack, then pounch your way out.

No bolted anchor,you can set up your own gear anchor, or there are solid bolts on the ground,can be link up with extremly long sligs but I'd rather use rope.
