2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures
The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st.

Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This is a second pitch to Wear Cattle that climbs a steep face and ends at the top of the Standard Route p.2. Named for the sea of lichen at the top of the pitch, this climb has better moves than rock.
From the anchors on Wear Cattle make thin moves right then up the steep face. After the last bolt continue right to join the Standard Route at the second pitch roof, and pull through to anchors.

Location
Wear Cattle is a face route left of the Standard Route, Coppertone is its second pitch. Either belay at the anchor for Wear Cattle, or link it up from the ground for a long pitch with lots of drag.
