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.

Description
The first ten feet of rawhide is overhanging and strenuous as you pull through a sea of pockets and edges. A variety of sequences will get you to the first bolt. Consider stick clipping the first bolt if you have any doubt about the bouldery start.
After the first bolt the climbing eases as you traverse leftward on horizontal edges. The crux comes at the third bolt where you are forced to use some greasy small holds. A long crank establishes you on a good jug and moderate climbing takes you to the anchors.
This is not a good route to do in the sun. The holds can get very greasy.
Down cleaning is hard due to the traversing nature of the climb. It is easiest to get a friend to follow and clean the route.
