The presence of a prairie falcon nesting in very close proximity to a variety of climbing routes requires closure of "Fat Freddie’s Cat,” “Freak Brothers Dome,” “The Weenie,” “Pea Brain,” and “The Red Obelisk."

Description
Climb up a ramp underneath the crack to the first piton. A bolt past the piton leads to sporty face climbing to a small crack (TCU's may be placed here). A difficult move past the small crack leads to a sustained and technical traverse past 7 more bolts to a hanging 2 bolt belay.
The second pitch passes 9 bolts up a steep chute over "mini moguls" to another two bolt belay.
