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.

Description
Pitch 1 (5.11a): This is the crux of the route, protected by bolts and small gear. Start up a steep section of jugs, quickly leading right and up the the techy lichen covered slab clipping bolts that eventually lead to a finger crack on the upper slab. Smear your way up and right into the chasm to finish out the first pitch.
Pitch 2 (5.7): Fantastic! Move deeper into the chasm to belay at the base of the refrigerator block. Start undefined block up and left, then follow the crack system through wide gear to an imposing roof with perfect feet and hands. Progress up through the crack to a spacious ledge and belay.
Pitch 2b (5.1): Unrope and solo about 20 feet up a low 5th class, low angle wide crack cutting left after topping out. Walk off as if decending from birds in a rut.
