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 rarely done line sits abandoned next to Chain Reaction. Often viewed as an "unpure" line due to a stem in between the first and second bolt. However, the stem only brings the route down a letter grade. Reachy movement on decent pockets leads you to the roof. Here you must gain a good pinch, clip, and deadpoint a small ergonomic nub. Healhook mantle your way to the chains.
