Typically Mid-February Tallulah Gorge will temporarily close the wall to rock climbing to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Climbing is expected to resume this June once the chicks fledge.

Description
Step off a huge boulder onto the face under a small roof. Once established move right and then up through stacked roofs. Pull over the left side of the last of three small stacked roofs via great holds and a high step. Face climb up to a large ledge to finish, 60'.
The next pitch is the second pitch of the Chimney Route (5.7), 90'. Awkward start to climb past a manky piton and into the "chimney." Follow this feature up to another large ledge where you join Mescaline Daydream. From here continue up to the bolted anchor for Flying Frog to rap or finish to the rim of the gorge.
