Please avoid this area during this time to allow the owls to nest undisturbed. Note: Intentionally disturbing protected species is a Federal and State crime.
The following routes on The Prow & Gold Wall will be closed April 1st - August 31st:
"Sail Away"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
"The Prow"
"Americans at Arapiles"
"Crow's Nest"
"Powderfingers"
"Yardarm"
"Cheeseball"
"Shittn' Bricks" (on the Gold Wall)
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service (Kaibab National Forest) @ (928) 635-8200 and ask to speak with the Wildlife Biologist.

Description
Inbetween Fools Game and On The Edge lies this neglected but nice route. I think UKD stands for Ultimate Killing Device because it was led before the TCU. It now protects well with small aliens at the crux. Scramble in from either side to the stance at the start of the steep tips crack. Crux comes quickly with a very strange and off-balance mantle thing. After that just follow the jams.
