Access Issue: Yield to mining vehicle traffic
Details
Revenue and Camp Bird Mines have resumed mining activities further up Camp Bird Rd. A new sign posted in February 2013 caused some tension as described in:

Please refrain from blocking the road, yield to oncoming mining vehicle traffic, and be careful of rockfall and icefall. Please share the road to minimize future access issues with the road's multiple user groups.

Description
This is one of the best in the Ouray area and is well under-appreciated! Beware during avalanche danger - I've been engulfed in the power cloud from this gully while standing on top of the route Skylight! It has excellent mixed climbing and some good steep ice on P1 which you can do in one rope stretching 70m pitch to the top of the first tier. Then ascend some low angle snow/ice rambling up to the last 70m pitch of WI4.
Rap the route off of bushes and/or V-threads.
This basically packs all the good climbing on Bird Brain Blvd. into one awesome 70m pitch. Enjoy.
Location
It is the obvious gully straight across the valley from the Skylight area, and just up the hill from The Ribbon and Birdbrain. Climb up the right hand of two twin gullies.
