Access Issue: Seasonal Nesting Closure Details

Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods which typically start April 1st and last through early August. All routes south of Shaman School (Climber's left) will be closed to climbing. Please refer to USFS signage at the crag for the most current closure information. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of full areas, and we ask that climbers respect this privilege by adhering to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org

Description

Be the Burn takes on the steep, scooped out left facing dihedral/arete feature to the left of Steeper by the Dozen which is an overhanging weakness. The line also shares the same techy start and first two bolts of Steeper by the Dozen. With its unique movement, amazing features, and overall steepness, Be the Burn is one of the best of it’s grade for Dacite routes in Flagstaff.

Climb a thin, somewhat techy face past a solution pocket to a ledge. On the ledge, clip a tan powder coated bolt out left, then climb up the weakness to access the steep, scooped, left facing dihedral/ arête. A tricky, palmy stem move guards the entrance to the mondo rail and the steeper climbing. After the dihedral, move up and just right through a bouldery sequence to a good shake at a marginal break, (Burning Point breaks off left at the very tippy top of the dihedral). Once rested, launch into the steep headwall never straying too far right from the bolt line. It is possible to climb onto Steeper by the Dozen to avoid the headwall deadpoint crux, so don’t cheat yourself out of the burn. For the grade, it feels pretty steep for Flag.

Clean on top rope or be prepared for a deeper burn. Occasionally, you may encounter a cleaning draw fixed in the scoop.
