This cliff is a Native American (Greenville Rancheria) sacred site and as such, fixed anchors are not allowed. Previously established fixed anchors have been removed. Any and all climbing should be done with natural gear anchors.
2017-2023 Seasonal Raptor Closure: Entire Cliff Area
U.S. Forest Service Seasonal Raptor Closure for Peregrine Falcon and Golden Eagle Nesting:
Moonlight Crags has a seasonal closure from Feb 1 to July 15 for a five year period in an effort to encourage cliff use by nesting raptors. This period may be extended on a year-by-year basis if fledgling birds are present later.
During this time please respect the closure buffer and avoid disturbance, keep noise to a minimum, and use your best judgment to gauge and mitigate your impact.
Successful nesting raptors will not negatively impact climbing access in the long-term, but disrespecting the seasonal closures will. Moonlight Cliffs is open to public access throughout the rest of the year.

Description
Climb up a deliciously knobby face until you break left onto a blunt arete. Once atop a ledge the line continues up and right - step over the void and head up fun terrain past two more bolts up progressively easier terrain to the anchors shared with Solar Wind.
At the start of the climb it is possible to stay right and avoid the arete, which makes the line a bit contrived but adds additional difficulty at 5.9+.

Location
This is the second pitch of two routes which share an anchor (Rocket Hero Brain Man and Space Walk). It begins on a nice ledge with a comfy belay and chain anchors.
It would be possible to TR this route using directionals from the Solar Wind anchors.
It is possible to make two rappels to the ground using a single 70m rope.
