Seasonal raptor closure at Monument Area MORE INFO >>> Rock climbing is not allowed 1/4 mile either side of the Monument due to a nesting pair of Golden Eagles. The birds are using Staender Ridge as a perch therefore it is also within the closure area. The trail which is on the backside of the Monument is open to through traffic, but hiking is not allowed around the cliff faces. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

The best route on Rim Rock and one of the best 5.11's at Smith.
Start up fun jugs and huecos and angle right.Hard moves come before reaching an arete near the top of the buttress. Difficulties mount as you ascend the arete.
Well protected, technical, super fun!
