Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures Details

JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:

ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!

There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…

Description

This is the second route in the Churning Series.

Continue past the first anchor of Churning In The Wake to a rest. Stay calm through easy 5.11 climbing to another rest and then get psyched for a technical, one-move crux to a jug. Several sequences will work through this section depending on your height / weight / ape-index / dietary restrictions and preference of Chocolate vs Vanilla.

Finish up and right on the Delicious Fish anchors.
