Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.

Description
This route starts just left of center on Shield of Dreams.
P1 - 5.9, 150 feet. Begin in a right-leaning, right-facing corner and jam past some wedged blocks (crux). Continue up a neat flake that eventually thins out and becomes dangerous. Instead, step left across a face and follow some slabs to the base of a right-leaning hand crack. Take the hand crack up and right to a belay ledge.
P2 - 5.6, 140 feet. Go up and left across a nice slab to a nifty traverse left on good holds. Continue to the top with nice corners and flakes.
Descent - walk left down a ramp, and then continue scrambling left to the grassy hillside.
