Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warnings due to current fires, smoke, etc.
Description
This is a good little route that will have you reaching into your chalk bag right off the start. To gain the excellent crack, face climb (crux) past a single bolt.
Location
Just down and to the right of the Royal Arches Route pitch one chimney. There is a seasonal waterfall just to the right of the start. To find the start, traverse a skinny ledge with a tree on it. This climb shares rappel chains with Arete Butler. Although the climb is only +/-90ft, you need two ropes or one 70m to rappel to the ground.
