Access Issue: This area is closed to public use, each year, during February 15 - July 31 to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons.
Details
The closure area includes all cliffs and trails south of the abandoned Artmore Plastics building.
Peregrine Falcons are a state and federally protected bird.
Human disturbance can cause nest abandonment and the loss of eggs and chicks.
Viewing the Peregrines is possible from along the Great Allegheny Passage Trail as it passes through The Cumberland Narrows.

Description
Climb the blocks and wide cracks 15' left and around the corner of Tunnel of Love. Continue straight through a series of three roofs, taking each at its widest point. Gain the ledge and finish as on the final vertical section of Tunnel of Love. Much like Rain Check, the crux is blind but brief.
