All South End routes
(All routes south of "Shaman School")
A sign will be installed where the closure begins. Please do not enter this area.
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 (Coconino National Forest) @ 928-527-8247
Description
Above the Storm is technically the unsent bolted route just to the left of 'Be Yourself' that climbs through a steep and beautiful bulge just to the left of 'Be Yourself'. Since the direct bulge is gnar hard but the upper head wall is so perfect it is possible to climb into it either by starting up the bolted start of 'Be Yourself" or to place gear and traverse in from 'Our Daily Bread'
C.Tatum bolted the whole line but opened it up to anyone who thinks they can float above the storm, several strong parties have tried to link the sharp and very hard (v10??) lower crux into the headwall...
