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
The route is mostly a right facing flake with various jamming. A bouldery start on the left from a pedestal or an easier start on right to get established in the crack. Layback over a small rooflet, and then strangely strenuous overhanging hands and thin hands to the last roof. There is a big distance between tight hands jams at the crux, so work with your feet and body position to reach them.
At the end of the crack is a bolted anchor that lets you lower with a 70 m rope. The other choice - traverse ~15 feet right to another bolted anchor (presumably crux of the route, but I did not try it).
