Please avoid this area during this time to allow the owls to nest undisturbed. Note: Intentionally disturbing protected species is a Federal and State crime.
The following routes on The Prow & Gold Wall will be closed April 1st - August 31st:
"Sail Away"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"

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 (Kaibab National Forest) @ (928) 635-8200 and ask to speak with the Wildlife Biologist.
Description
Speculated to be the best new route at the forks for 2016 ( also the only one) The bear necessities until now lay hidden behind a curtain of lichen camo. It was likely top roped some time in the dark ages but judging by the condition of the route it doubtfully has seen a lead. From the belay ledge head of the right crack and quickly transfer to the middle finger ish crack . After some fun moves in the .5 size crack with good stems, reach over and transfer into the far left thin hands crack. Ride the splitter up as it goes form 1's to 3's and then get ready for the roof. Glory hand jams and good feet will bring you out of the right side of the roof that finishes the route off.
