Access Issue: June 28, 2022 - Seasonal Raptor Nesting
Details
Season Raptor Nesting
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Description
Diagonal right past 2 bolts to the main "large cobble line" on the left side of the wall. Continue up the big cobbles doing long reaches off large "footballs" to the 4th bolt. From here, make a real long reach to a good edge, followed by a few more tricky moves to a rest below a steep bulge at the 7th bolt. A few more difficult moves take you past this steep "corner" section to the final 5.10 headwall and the anchors.
