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.

Description
Fantastic and easy face climbing. First pitch follows the pillar face to a bolted anchor. Second pitch moves down and right off the pillar and onto the adjacent face (same as for Bookworm) for more face climbing. Can be done in one pitch (bring slings for the anchor and consider skipping the first bolt of the second pitch.) Descend on two rope rappel or two raps.
Protection
lots of quickdraws, some slings if running it in one pitch.
