Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:
ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!
There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description
despite what the guide book says, I would say it's not all that bad if 10a soloing is your jam. Oh, and make sure everyone below is cool with playing "dodge the falling Boulder" before beginning your short jaunt to the chains. It starts with standing on a good sized block and stepping onto nubs. In a few short moves, you'll gain the ramp. At that point, simply walk the left leaning ramp (avoiding the obvious loose blocks) to the chains at the top of said ramp.
