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 

A wicked little route towards the far left of the area. Very powerful moves and a steep pocket crux make for a stiff climb overall. The second to last bolt is placed in such a way that it's an extremely burly clip.

I thought it was a little tougher than .13a, but due to its short height it may be accurate. Very bouldery.

Stick clip the first bolt.

Location 

Just to the left of the great Torrid Zone.

Protection 

Quickdraws.
