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
Wandering route with a hollow flake. The crux is a slabby section right at the last bolt (near the top), initially rated 5.9 but consensus is 5.8.
When you reach the flake, save the 1.25" cam until you reach an obvious placement that doesn't sound hollow (not the initial obvious placement which is very hollow)!
I added a bolt in 2010 to protect the initial bulge (since the only other pro is a fixed pin that won't last forever).
Toproping the direct start is about 5.10a.
