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.

Description
The prominent buttress to the right of Aggro Gully. West Ship is its brother buttress. Because much of the rock on the face of this buttress is less than optimal few routes are found on it but the few that are there are worth checking out.
Getting There
Hike the river trail downstream around Windy Corner past Shiprock. The first buttress is East Ship.
