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

One of the best moderate sport lines on Basalt in Smith. Start by soloing a little pedestal, clip a bolt and enjoy the fun sequences, stem, crimp, jug, repeat! You can top rope 4 5.12s off this route too! At the top you can go up/right or left.

Location

After passing the bucket arete of E-Type Jag, this is the next heavily chalked route, it has a moderate clearing underneath and starts with a 20 foot pillar, above this is the stemming box of Naxis.
