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 

Blood Clot is fun climb that would be more noteworthy if its location were further away from the spectacular Cruel Sister.

It is generally considered easier than Cruel Sister for some with a more difficult crux section. Still it is a very nice climb that takes takes great pro.

Location 

This climb lies just to the right of Crack-A-No-Go and to the left of a pidgeon-shit covered ledge. Bolted anchors allow convenient lowering.
