Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure at Newhalem Crags March 1st to mid-July
Details
Peregrine falcons select nest sites on cliffs in the Upper Skagit Valley, including the Climbing Management Areas of Newhalem West (Ryan’s Wall) and Newhalem East. As required in the NPS Superintendent’s Compendium, these areas will be closed to all public from March 1st to July 15th of each year, or until the young falcons have fledged or NPS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. Access Fund, Washington Climbers Coalition and NPS partner on a volunteer raptor monitoring program to determine nesting activity. Contact the NPS and/or WCC for updates.
Description
Alimony Blues is a fine addition to Chelsea's Corner sporting a few cruxy sections with good rests in-between. Well placed bolts protect this climb perfectly without compromising the fun factor. Start in a scarred area climbers left of Snugglefuk. A tricky start with friendly bolts leads to enjoyable slab climbing to a crux bulge. Lateral movement will help you decipher the tricky spots. You can use the last bolt of Snugglefuk to tame the run out at the the top.
