Nothing posted yet, but we were up at the Crow's Nest yesterday and the falcons were flying around.  I would avoid the Summit Cliff since that is where they have been nesting lately.

Take from the Rumney Comments section - Information taken from Rumney Climbers Association webpage: "'18 Rumney peregrine falcon closure PSA: The entire Summit Cliff, Asylum, Yellowknife and Monolith cliffs are temporarily closed to climbing. All other crags, including Very Nice Crack, Northwest Territories, and Main Cliff are OPEN. Your cooperation is essential if these birds are to nest successfully. Peregrines are protected by both Federal and State laws. Harassing, pursuing, shooting, killing, trapping, capturing, or attempting to do so, is illegal and subject to fines of up to $10,000. These cliffs will likely be closed until sometime in July or early August."

Closed locations are also posted in the parking lot.

Will there be any closures due to black fly nesting?
