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 

This area contains some of the best routes on the East side of the Lower Gorge. They're quite long and most continue up past the end of the columns into the faces above. Plenty of good 3 star routes here in the 5.10 and 5.11 range.

Getting There 

Either use the river trail that starts from the bridge (long walk) or hop boulders across the river during low water.
