Details
Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive. This page also shares closures and warnings due to current fires, smoke, etc.
Description
From the sandy bench at the start of the technical climbing, meander up the sea of features on this broad face up toward a clearly visible tree in a notch on the ridge line. This can be done in one pitch with a 70m rope, but bring plenty of slings as the route wanders. There is a nice belay ledge halfway up the face if needed. This face is about 5.6 but made more challenging by the abundance of loose grit and rotten rock on the route. Decent protection is available.
From the notch, climb a pitch to your left up a beautiful left-leaning crack to the summit. You may also be able to skirt left around this, but I didn't try.
Location
From Young Lake, scramble up the talus slope, skirting the edge of the rock buttress to your right. It will eventually turn into a series of slabby boulder problems until you get to the obvious summit formation and start of the technical climbing. This route meanders up a sea of features aiming toward a tree in a notch which should be visible from the start. There is a large sandy bench at the start.
