Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15.
Always check the Yosemite website Peregrine Closure page at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warning due to current fires, smoke, etc.

Description
This is a great one-pitch climb at the far right end of the North Face Apron. I found this to be one of the less frightening leads on the Apron with bolts right where you need them. The first crux comes between the first and second bolt in a section of golden polish. There is an optional belay at the third bolt, but it is better to just keep climbing. The forth bolt is damaged, either by rockfall or hammered, I cant really tell (the first bolt on Cat Dancing is the same). You can still clip it however, and its good to extend this one with a runner. Traverse right and then climb up and right on easy but runout terrain. After the 5th bolt is another short crux and then more easy climbing to the anchor. You can rap with one 70m rope (one 60m rope might also work?) stopping at the intermediate rap anchor.
