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.
pretty straightforward for the grade. takes good passive pro, too.

This climb is fricken' sick! Awesome route. Topropers tend to find the 2nd bulge to be the crux, leaders tend to get stopped at the last bulge. Your mileage will vary. Bomber gear. Definitely bring some nuts as the previous person mentioned.
Incredible climb! The finger locks at the top are inspiring. The 2nd roof is bit of a hand jam puzzle, but steller moves that work right into a pumpy finger lock finish.
Definitely a few no brainer nut placements as well as easy cam placements (and a few no hands rests if you want).
