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
Thin edges, steep smears and delicate movement is the name of the game with this route. The climb has gotten significantly harder over time as some of the edges have broken off.
- Originally done with six bolts and a smattering of gear, this route was re-bolted and the extra bolts added with the permission of the FA party to result in a fun and well-protected sport climb.
Location
The face/arete just left of High Strung, an obvious widening crack on the east face of Foolproof Tower.
