Access Issue: Seasonal Bird Nesting Closures: Specific Route Closures Details

Seasonal Bird Nesting Closures:
The following routes will be CLOSED April 1st - August 31st:

"Lucky Streak"
"Hobophobic"
"Rambler's Choice"

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

The "Wabash Line" is a mythical rail line that appears when a hobo needs it most and can take them anywhere they want to go. Hopefully to Sendtown. This somewhat tricky and compact route features great holds and meanders up some of the steeper rock at Hobo. All aboard!

Start to the left of Road Sister. Nimble your way through a thankfully short chossy section at the start. Check your holds. After that the rock and the climbing both get tremendously better as the wall gets steeper. Follow the faint dihedral executing intriguing off balance layback moves. Shuffle left to some bigger holds and then punch it over the bulge.

like its neighbors on this wall, the route stays in the shade until midday.

You can lower off Road Sister to access the anchors for hanging draws or an easy TR.

Location

Back end of the canyon before the water chute, on the only west facing wall. This wall holds four bolted routes. Whistling Wabash is the second route from the climber’s left side of the wall. Left of Road Sister. Morning shade.
