Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.

Description
Center Dihedral has some pretty good and interesting climbing, and it is certainly worthy of more traffic than it apparently gets.
P1: Begin a short ways to the right of Days of Heaven and climb up some large, loose blocks to a ledge below an overhang that leads to a small dihedral. Pull this overhang (well protected with a #2 Camalot, 10a). Walk right on a foot ledge to a thin crack. Follow this up to the base of the dihedral and belay.
P2: Climb the dihedral with stemming, liebacks, and tricky gear. A soft 10d.
