The lower Tieton crags (Royal Columns and the Bend) are closed for raptor nesting beginning February 1 each year. Depending on nest location and success, the closure can be lifted as early as April or as late as July.

Description
Great route. Start with some blocky face climbing (2-3 moves) then get into a perfect hand crack for about 50 feet. Keep an eye on the face for some welcome foot holds.
Location
To the right of Orange sunshine. If you want to top-rope, bring an extra long bit of webbing to extend past the edge.
Protection
Gear from .5" to 3" cams and some medium nuts. There seems to be good placements all the way up the route.
