Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Nesting Warning Details

Season Raptor Nesting
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Description

Sunny on the west facing side and shady on the south facing side (due to trees). There are 3 short bouldery routes on the wall and a handful of boulder problems and traverses on the west face as well. There is also a small boulder with a good problem on it just at the left end of the west face.

Getting There

Once you get to the top of the approach trail head past the Beer Block to the Big Pine Wall, then head downhill and curve around to the right when even with the Pirate's Wall and you will see a small block with 2 short routes on the south face and one further around to the right on the west face.
