Access Issue: Peregrine Falcons
Details
Peregrine Falcons and other raptors nest on many of these remote cliffs. It is best to avoid climbing in the spring and early summer (before August) so as not to disturb these protected birds.
Most of these cliffs are too remote and are on private land, so access has historically been low key. It is important to be respectful of the wildlife in these wilderness climbing locations.

Description
Another nice "practice" area.
Several nice flows cascade down from a flat-topped area (Think a smaller version of the area at Frankenstein around Pegasus and Chia). Most can be top roped, although you may want to lead the easiest route to get to the flat top area.
A nice "slot" route on the far left.

Getting There
Park at a pull out / logging road about 1/2 mile north of the AT Parking lot.
Follow the logging road about 150 ft to a turn-off trail on the left. Follow this through a boggy area and then for another 20-30 minutes to the flows. If you've not been there and the trail is not broken it may be a challenge, made more so because the GPS co-ordinates I entered is a bit of a "guess" (The crag is only about 80ft high and doesn't show well on the map.)
