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 dimunitive little band of basalt that contains a handful of moderate trad climbs.
Getting There
Just upstream from the Student Wall. Cross the main bridge below the parking area, take a right on the path and follow it around the big bend in the river to the Student wall, then continue a bit farther upstream.
