Access Issue: Road closure and reopened after flood damage!
Details
Per Steven Armijo: Cheyenne Canyon Road is closed until May 2022 for bridge repairs. Only hiking and biking trail access is allowed into the canyon.
Per Stewart M. Green: the North Cheyenne Canyon was reopened after the floods of 2015.
Per Stewart M. Green: ATTENTION!! The Colorado Springs Parks Department has CLOSED ALL CITY PARKS, including Garden of the Gods, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, and North Cheyenne Canon, to rock climbing for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
This is due to record rainfall totals in western Colorado Springs which as caused severe trail and parking lot damage, saturated the sandstone cliffs, and is causing parts of cliffs to break off.
The parks will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine how the closure will last.
Please respect the closures and take care of our precious climbing areas!

Description
Tiger Snap is located just to the left of Balance, at the highest point of the trail that goes along the base of the Pinnacle. Remember to look for nice rocks to sit on.
Tiger Snap ascends a steep, right-facing dihedral with generously spaced bolts. There is potential for a ground fall between the second and third bolts. While the climbing is never desperate, overall it has a much more sustained nature than other routes at North Cheyenne Canyon. For some reason all the holds seem to face the wrong way.
After managing to get on the thing, carefully climb up the steep, right facing wall of the dihedral. The anchors are out of view and are found to the left of the top of the dihedral. Enjoy.
