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. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…
Description
Climb up into the obvious curving off-width. Just when you are wondering how the heck this is 5.9 reach back over your shoulder and grab a jug on top of the arete. Pull through to easier holds and regroup before pulling the jugs through a buldge and finishing on the 6" OW up top (you can climb face holds past this top OW).
Location
The obvious curving OW on the right side of the wall before you go around the corner.
