Access Issue: June 28, 2022 - Carson National Forest FR44 Closure and Seasonal Raptor Nesting
Details
Forest Road (FR) 44, the road to the El Rito sport and trad areas was flooded out with the recent rains. Major debris flows (large limbs, boulders, mud, etc.) on the road, directly related to the Midnight Fire burn scar, have made the road impassable. Thus, the forest service is closing FR44, all climbing areas, and dispersed camping near the climbing areas along FR 44 through August 31 to coincide with monsoon season ending (an estimate date, of course). It's unclear how long it will take to repair the road after monsoon season. Note that Little River Wall is open and unaffected by this closure.
Season Raptor Nesting
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Description
There is a difficult start to a high first bolt. You get a good rest ledge before starting up the increasingly steep top section. Crux near the top. Big holds on an overhanging wall - great route for working on endurance.
