Access Issue: Access Notes Details

CRAGS and the Access Fund are beginning new projects to help improve access to Donner Summit. You can communicate access issues directly at CRAGS’ Donner Summit page norcalcrags.org/crags/donner/. The Truckee Donner Land Trust and the Access Fund jointly launched the Save Donner Climbing campaign, then purchased formerly private land for public conservation and access, which includes the Black Wall and other nearby cliffs, in 2015.

Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

TEMPORARY PEREGRINE FALCON CLOSURE ON BLACK WALL EFFECTIVE JUNE 14, 2017

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 - 4:15pm

Temporary closure on the mid-section of Black Wall in effect as of June 14 because peregrine falcons are nesting under Sky Pilot. Both trail heads to Black Wall are posted with signs.
Affected routes are: Next, Birdy, All pitches on Imaginary Voyage and Super Slab
Thank you for respecting the seasonal closure.
Black Wall and nearby crags are a common nesting site for peregrine falcons.

The pair often nest in the ledge systems right of Touch and Go. If nesting activity/behavior is apparent please take care to avoid disturbing the nest and avoid nearby climbing routes.

Description

This is an outstanding vertical handcrack, that leans slightly to the right. Scramble up an unprotected 5.0 ramp for 30' to the base of the crack. A couple fingers to tight hands moves leads into perfect hands glory for another 80'. Ample gear and abundant face holds. A striking line.

Location

Located near the far right side of the Black wall. Left of Rated X but right of the lightning bolt roof. Hard to miss this perfect crack from the ground.

Protection

Standard rack, emphasis on hand sized pieces. Gear belay, but you can rap off the nearby Summer Breeze bolted anchor w/60m rope and some easy downscrambling.
