Seasonal Raptor Closure MORE INFO >>> The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Way up around the left side of The Dome, about 50 feet before you reach Tube Terror, find the mostly blank slab that climbs mostly around 5.7. As I recall, there was some pro. With the longer ropes today, there's no need to simul-climb. Climb to the tree (??) and belay. Follow the holds to the big ledge and either walk off(?) or rap.

Location 

Right of Tube Terror.

Protection 

Sling a tree? Might be a few stopper placements?
