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.
A tricky bouldering start is probably the crux of this route. Good protection soon follows with stemming/jamming moves up a set of double cracks. A very good route that I think borders on classic.
Location
