Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warnings due to current fires, smoke, etc.
Description
From the upper ledge above Catchy...Jam, lieback and stem up the ever steepening corner until the yellow Alien/red Alien size crux forces you to pull and push a little bit harder. Master the bulge and stoke it up to the last little pull around too the right. Belay on the right most anchor.
Protection
Nuts, set of cams green Alien to gold Camalot size w/ extra yellow/red Alien sizes (mostly yellow).
Rap with 2 ropes (150') to the top of Catchy, or instead rap with a 70m (possibly a 60m with some easy down climbing) and then scramble over to the Anathema anchor for another single rope rappel to the ground.
Use the new anchor to the right at the top or risk your rope getting stuck in the crack.
