Access Issue: Potentially unavailable to climbing February through July if raptors are breeding here.
Details
This area is historically used by nesting falcons, hawks, owls or other raptors. Breeding season varies but is roughly February through July. Nesting raptors are protected by law.
If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
Perhaps the best of the Rappel Rock area, the rock on this one is excellent. The namesake problem is not to be missed.
Getting There
10 minutes down the climbers trail to Rappel Rock you'll pass over some steep slabs. Just after these slabs when the trail picks back up, Crossbones will be south/west off the trial maybe 200 feet. Should be visible (barely) from the trial after the slabs, but it is obscured behind trees.
