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:

Description
Starts right above the common scramble approach for the 6 climbs to the right of this one. Obscure shallow 12- stemming. Hardest trad route on the East side of the river.
Zealot now has its own anchor. You can approach from the right, or directly under which is trickier and takes #0-.5 cams, either way will require some back cleaning. Easy TR access after climbing the routes to the right.
The hard climbing is only about 35’ long, but asks quite the punch. The gear stances are challenging but the gear is very good.
