Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures January 1- July 31st, 2016-2021
Details
For 2022: per Daniel Bryant: they did extend the order, but what I found was that the closed area does not encompass any of the common climbing areas within Elevenmile Canyon.
Seasonal Closures in effect January 1-July 31st, 2016-2021.

Description
To find this route, hike up to the hollow flake route on arch rock. From here, look right approximately 40 feet to the large chimney/corner formed by an enormous flake leaning against the wall. This is captain fist.
Either slab or use a slab/chimney combination to pull up into the wide roof/slot (crux). Place your big piece here (#3 or #4 Camalot), and pull left out of the slot and into the corner proper. From here, climb up the corner on excellent jams and ledges. Great rest stances to place pro. About 60 feet up is a fixed anchor to rap from.
