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.
Another steep, sporty, and balancy Dihedrals climb. While it may not be the classic that Heinous Cling is, it's definately worth doing. A tricky thin traversing crux comes near the top by the last bolt.
Latin Lover is in the box-shaped enclave on the right end of the Dihedrals, and is on the face directly opposite from To Bolt or Not to Be.

A good one for hot summer days as it stays in the shade for most of the day. It is definitely easier for those with smaller fingers, as a lot of the holds are pretty small.
