Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.

Description
Start on a ledge just right of the thin finger crack splitting the low angle face. Stepping over to the crack is committing. Follow a low angle finger crack up to a grassy ledge, then layback a left-trending dihedral to a short traverse under a roof, which takes you to a splitter crack. The crack starts as thin hands and eventually widens to fists and wider. Build an anchor up top, and walk off climber's left.
One could pull the roof into the finger crack directly, this would probably go around mid-10.
