Description
This newly developed area is a continuation of the New Zoo. Hike past the main New Zoo wall, crossing a muddy section, until you see the striking overhanging amphitheater. You should see the first climb, Sons of Perdition, on the far left of this wall. Continue past the amphitheater to more climbs including many open projects. The area terminates with several easy moderates on the far right side.
Getting There
From the parking area, hike west/southwest towards the river. Apparently there used to be a log crossing over this river but that no longer exists. Take your shoes off, ford the river and find the climber's trail on the other side. Scramble up a very steep, rooty section of trail just right of a side drainage/ravine and continue steeply uphill for another five minutes.
When you reach a small arch at the top of the trail go to the right (do not pass through the arch or go around it to the left). The New Zoo will be the first routes you encounter after going right at the arch. Continue along the wall, beyond the The New Zoo routes, down the hill and down around the cave area, to get to the Bird Cage Sector. The Bird Cage Sector begins with the route Sons of Perdition.
