Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures January 1- July 31st, 2016-2021 Details

For 2022: per Daniel Bryant: they did extend the order, but what I found was that the closed area does not encompass any of the common climbing areas within Elevenmile Canyon.

From Daniel H Bryant: the 2022 Elevenmile Canyon closures that were extended but do not include climbing areas.

Seasonal Closures in effect January 1-July 31st, 2016-2021.

Description

This route is published in Ben Schmitt's Elevenmile Canyon guidebook -- which I highly recommend. The route climbs well-featured rock with a crux up high that requires a balancy move on small edges. It is a challenging but well-protected climb for someone breaking into leading 5.9 sport routes.
