Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures Details

JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:

ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!

There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…

Description

This short route provides a pump. Start up a detached flake to an obvious roof, with a couple good stances between stemming and jamming thru to the exit moves, which continue in the 5.10 range. Most everyone topropes this one from the two anchors on top the rim.

Location

From the ramp that leads down to N. Point, head right (climber's left) just around the first corner, past the downed tree.

Protection

Room for just a couple pieces, but you just gotta go...

Very fun route! You can get away with sidepulling most of the crack and using face features for feet in lieu of good jamming technique. Sep 17, 2018
