Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures Details

JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:

ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!

There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…

Description

A dozen or so sport climbs on good quality rock, ranging from 5.10+ to 5.13-, coat this wall. Most of the routes are about 60ft tall and all offer some unique movement. The wall is generally vertical techy climbing with some steeper parts towards the top. For those who want to beat the crowds on the popular 5.12's but don't want to sacrifice quality, this wall is perfect. Also a great spot for climbers going to the Maiden Oregon Wall and Colosseum to warm up at.

Getting There

Hike up to the notch in-between brogan spire and the Marsupial Wall and continue down the other side of the hill. From the notch, continue approximately 1,000ft down the marsupial wall until you reach the wall. A large cave is on the left of the wall and a series of caves and steep features line the right side of the wall.
