Please avoid this area during this time to allow the owls to nest undisturbed. Note: Intentionally disturbing protected species is a Federal and State crime.
The following routes on The Prow & Gold Wall will be closed April 1st - August 31st:
"Sail Away"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
"The Prow"
"Americans at Arapiles"
"Crow's Nest"
"Powderfingers"
"Yardarm"
"Cheeseball"

The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service (Kaibab National Forest) @ (928) 635-8200 and ask to speak with the Wildlife Biologist.
Description
LMA is one of the steepest routes at The Forks and is the crown jewel amongst the other gems on the Sine Wall. As the story goes... LMA was a last minute addition to the Bloom guidebook just as it was going to print. An ambiguous description from visiting climbers from Tucson got it into the guidebook just in time but the complete radness of the pitch was left out. The true difficulty may have been left out also...
LMA climbs a low angle slab to a stance below a broken orange shield. Follow broken holds into the steep twin tips cracks. Blast it and end up on a bivy ledge. Step back out and follow thin seam on an arete to the topout.
