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.
General NPS climbing regulations for RMNP posted here.

Description
Did you get a late start? Are there parties ahead of you on the North Buttress? Try this alternative. (FA: not sure, so I'm making up the name to describe this alternative start.)
Start approximately 150 feet climbers left of the North Buttress. Climb the left-facing flake system to the notch between the top of the lower buttress and the bottom of the upper buttress. At the notch, step left to the top of pitch 4 (see North Buttress) to belay at the start of the upper pitches.

Location
Approach as for the North Buttress route(s). Look for a narrow gully that widens to slabs. Finish as for the North Buttress.
