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
Start from a nice new platform and follow the bolt line to the right. Some great big holds taper off to some slab climbing which then leads towards a low angle corner/shelf. Step out of the shelf to the right using what friction you can find and continue up the slab towards the roof. Surmount the roof using huge hands but not such huge feet and easier featured face climbing to some brand new chains. An excellent, well protected addition to 7 Mile Rock.
