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.
This wall lies downstream of the rest of the West Side columns. It's often passed over in favor of the magnificent Wildfire Wall. There are a few nice crack lines that see very little traffic here.
Getting There
Follow directions to the West Side area. This is the first wall you'll come to.
