Climbing Route Closures
PRECAUTIONARY CLOSURE DUE TO POTENTIAL ROCKFALL
Part of South Chasm View Wall is closed due to a 300' x 40' slab of rock that shifted one inch in one week. The slab is estimated to weigh 6 million pounds or more. The NPS is consulting with geohazards specialists for further direction.
The following routes are closed:
The Night is Dark & Full of Terrors
The Flakes
5.11+ Alternate Start
Astrodog
Tague Yer Time
Shadow Boxing
The Black Hole
See nps.gov/blca/planyourvisit/… for updates.
Description
The crux is a thin, stemming corner just like the enduro 2nd pitch on "Tague...". This is a really good and shaded route. It is .11b/c R! A pitch up high will get your heart racing. There are lots of hands and finger cracks like "Black Snake" or "Dragon Rider".
Location
Do the Astro Dog raps (if you know the raps and simul them, it should take less than 2 hours to get to the base meadow at the river), then walk to the center of the meadow, and spy the long, bushy, hand crack 1st pitch.
