For 2022: per Daniel Bryant: they did extend the order, but what I found was that the closed area does not encompass any of the common climbing areas within Elevenmile Canyon.

From Daniel H Bryant: the 2022 Elevenmile Canyon closures that were extended but do not include climbing areas.

Description

This south facing cliff has five crack climbs all in the 5.10+ to 5.11 range. Routes are one or two pitches on pretty good granite, though most have seen so few ascents that there are still some some exfoliation flakes that need to be cleaned. There is an easy downclimb on the north/back side.

Getting There

The rock is located 5.2 miles up the road from the fee station, on the north side of the river. Park at the entrance to Spring Gulch campground, 5.4 miles past the fee station. (Don't park in a campsite, you may get a ticket.) A five to ten minute walk along the north side of the river gets you to the base of the rock.
