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
The unfortunate wind event of December 2021 had one silver lining--it toppled the tree obscuring this line. Clip the first two bolts of Stoker climbing through the lower boulder cobble crux of that route. From the big huecos above the cobble crux of Stoker, climb to the right a bit, climbing the face and arete, up past six permadraws to the anchor. If you're looking for a contrived pump, avoid the arete at the top but savvy climbers will cop a nice rest on the arete.
