Access Issue: 2022 Peregrine Closure Lifted July 29, 2022. Closed to climbing, VA crags, Jefferson rock, and all rocks along Shenandoah Street. Note: All parking is closed along Sandy Hook rd.
Details
2022 Peregrine Closures-Lifter July 29, 2022.
Website: nps.gov/hafe/planyourvisit/…
After raising the first successful fledgling at Harpers Ferry in 70 years, a pair of peregrine falcons have returned once again to nest on Maryland Heights in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
To provide the peregrine falcons adequate space for nesting, the National Park Service (NPS) will close portions of Maryland Heights from Feb. 16 to July 29, 2022. The closures include several rock outcroppings near the overlook and the following climbing areas:
The Gully
Sign Wall
ABC Ramps
Train Tunnel Wall
Confederate Walls
All trails on Maryland Heights and the Union Walls climbing area will remain open. Closed areas will be clearly marked with signs and fencing.
Peregrine falcons are a sensitive species and had not successfully hatched chicks at Maryland Heights in several decades prior to last year’s success. In spring 2021, the peregrine couple produced three hatchlings, but only one chick survived the vulnerable newborn phase and successfully fledged (developed feathers that enabled it to fly). Human interference, especially during the nesting phase, can drive off mature falcons, cause abandonment of the nest and result in the loss of eggs or death to fledglings. NPS staff asks that people respect closures to give the peregrine falcons a safe habitat to breed and nest.
For more information about peregrine falcons at the park, visit go.nps.gov/HFfalcons.

Description
Climb the thin crack when it runs out, continue up the black rock face on anorexic / thin holds leading to a slot. Move past a horizontal stepping left and pull the roof following the broken crack to the cedar tree directly above.
Location
The climb is located on the Yellow Jacket wall Starting up on the ledge just left of the large ceder tree. ![]()
Topo: Names of the individual walls .
Protection
Watch for loose rock particularly near the top of the climb and on the ledge.
A few more gear placements are available directly behind the tree and at the center of the left leaning crack just before it starts to flare. However this makes for a very zig-zaging line and drops the ratting to R instead of X.
