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
Another classic, like most of the routes on the wall. It's all gear, starts on a wideish(3") crack and then starts up a sustained finger crack. The locks are so good most of them hurt.
Location
This route is on the FAR left side of the wall, it's the very obviously chalked up finger crack.
Protection
All gear, stops and double small stuff to 1"
