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
This short route has a strange off-balance crux after the second bolt, then eases up somewhat but stays engaging to the anchor. Difficult to onsight, possible to set up a TR by first leading Spark of Desire.
The start requires using a questionable dinner-plate sized block; it is probably best for the belayer to not stand directly beneath it.
