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

As of this writing, Hotshot (8+) is the only climb on MP on the west side.

Getting There

Hotshot (8+) is currently the only line listed on MP on the west side. It is best approached by going the the east side chimney between Ravens B & C, tunneling to the west (the Orifice will be the obvious as one walks through) and finally sliding down the vegetated slope to the start of Hotshot (8+)
