Access Issue: Access Notes
Details
CRAGS and the Access Fund are beginning new projects to help improve access to Donner Summit. You can communicate access issues directly at CRAGS’ Donner Summit page norcalcrags.org/crags/donner/. The Truckee Donner Land Trust and the Access Fund jointly launched the Save Donner Climbing campaign, then purchased formerly private land for public conservation and access, which includes the Black Wall and other nearby cliffs, in 2015.
Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure

TEMPORARY PEREGRINE FALCON CLOSURE ON BLACK WALL EFFECTIVE JUNE 14, 2017
Wednesday, June 14, 2017 - 4:15pm
Temporary closure on the mid-section of Black Wall in effect as of June 14 because peregrine falcons are nesting under Sky Pilot. Both trail heads to Black Wall are posted with signs.
Affected routes are: Next, Birdy, All pitches on Imaginary Voyage and Super Slab
Thank you for respecting the seasonal closure.
Black Wall and nearby crags are a common nesting site for peregrine falcons.
The pair often nest in the ledge systems right of Touch and Go. If nesting activity/behavior is apparent please take care to avoid disturbing the nest and avoid nearby climbing routes.

Description
Primer is the short bit excellent crack in the dihedral of the Primer boulder, on the left side of Black Wall.
Climb the hand to fingercrack to chains in the green dihedral.
This route is often overlooked because it is not drawn in any guidebooks or topos, but rather is described in the text. The guide calls it .9+ but I believe it checks in at .9. Also, it varies in size, so please, no comments about how if you're short or have carney hands it's harder. Fight grade creep!

Ya know, the finishing moves are kinda reachy and harder if you're...er, uh....and I mean, the section right before it is super tight fingers and definitely harder for those with, um.....wait, what was I saying?? Oct 29, 2009
