Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure at Newhalem Crags March 1st to mid-July
Details
Peregrine falcons select nest sites on cliffs in the Upper Skagit Valley, including the Climbing Management Areas of Newhalem West (Ryan’s Wall) and Newhalem East. As required in the NPS Superintendent’s Compendium, these areas will be closed to all public from March 1st to July 15th of each year, or until the young falcons have fledged or NPS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. Access Fund, Washington Climbers Coalition and NPS partner on a volunteer raptor monitoring program to determine nesting activity. Contact the NPS and/or WCC for updates.
Description
Nice three pitch climb with good belay ledges. First and last pitches are short and the 2nd pitch is longer. Great exposure and interesting climbing. Descend down the route with three rappels with a single 60m rope
- ***Watch your rope ends when rappelling Pitch 2****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30m!!!!
