If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
This route has a number of hard sections with the crux coming after a hundred feet. Long, good climbing, good rock, lots of exposure well worth doing. Start on Gargoyle, do the first and second pitch as one and belay on the right side of the pilar.
Have since learned that Scott Ayers did this face with sparse gear and slung chicken heads. Pretty sure we have bolted over and crossed parts of what he did. Reminds me of In Lightening at the Druid. Now it will get climbed once in a while.
