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 

Start just left of the obvious corner in the center of the crag. Make a few moves to a ledge at the base of a wide crack. Climb this (hexes useful) to a ledge. From there follow a finger and hand crack to a roof. Pass this on the right (fun) to reach the anchors.

Location 

This route shares anchors with Cretin's Retreat.
