Access Issue: Annual Nesting Closure
Details
Nose Rock, Shooting Gallery, Bedrock, Pulse Roof, and "Shock Treatment" route on White Wall are all closed for Mexican Spotted Owl nesting from March 1st until August 31st, unless lifted sooner. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition request that climbers avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods (typically April through early August).
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service @ 928-526-0866 and ask to speak with a biologist.

Description
Fun route around the corner from Sunshine Daydream. Good holds all the way, with a crux near the top because of a protruding boulder. You can go right or left there; the last bolt is above it.
Location
You can scramble up on either side of the Sun Tower, but the right side seems easier. Either way, hike gingerly to avoid a fall and to minimize erosion. Watch out for big, loose boulders in the draws. The start is to the left of the huge bolted roof, just around the corner from the top half of Sunshine Daydream. Look for a twisted, spindly pine on top; the anchors are just below that.
