Access Issue: Seasonal Nesting Closure
Details
Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods which typically start April 1st and last through early August. All routes south of Shaman School (Climber's left) will be closed to climbing. Please refer to USFS signage at the crag for the most current closure information. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of full areas, and we ask that climbers respect this privilege by adhering 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

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...
