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

Just uphill from Freebase, this route is great fun on little pinchers. If you enjoyed Chicken McNuggets, you'll enjoy this one. It's a nice test of strategic resting - bad rhythm will get you all pumped out.
Expect it to be pleasantly stiff for the grade.

Location

if you're doing a powerful undercling to get to the first bolt (freebase), go uphill one route.

Awesome climb - every single hold is quite nice with lots of positive jugs and smooth incut nubbins. The couple places it gets hard there are footholds everywhere and you can just keep on tiptoing your way upwards. Apr 11, 2017
