Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:
ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
From stepping off the ground until the third bolt is reached, this brutal climb will offer little respite. Popism feels quite hard for the grade which is probably due to having all the strenuous climbing crammed into a scant twenty-five feet of rock. Good hands and good feet are plentiful but one will rarely have both at the same time until rounding the blunt arĂȘte. Start on the far right edge of The Peanut. Work the right edge of the block with your right hand. Marginal holds will soon appear on the face. Make a short traverse left to get to some good pockets and sidepulls which will be used heavily. I'm not going to say Popism is some forgotten gem, it's not. Those liking bouldery 5.11's might enjoy it though.
A top-rope can easily be set up by climbing Pop Goes the Nubbin and making a short, easy traverse down and right to the Popism anchor.
