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
Begin just right of "Little Big Horn" in a sandy wash at the base of the crag. Bouldery moves gain a left facing dihedral with an offwidth crescent shaped crack on the right. Awkward moves (5.9) lead to a small roof with a solid thin horn above the roof. Pull the roof (5.9) and continue in the left slanting finger / hand crack surrounded by vibrant orange rock. The crack becomes low angle near the top and ends on a ledge. Veer right for 15' to a larger ledge then back left to the rappel anchors. A little dirty down low but another great warmup.
