If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
Maybe I stitched routes together, but this is the 2nd bolt line I saw when I got to Avalon and although it crosses Chastity, it climbs nicely and is the longest route of it's grade here for those collecting the whole set.
Location
This shares the optional start for Chastity as described here on MP. Just after the start down along the East/Right side of Avalon you'll see an obvious water streak. Just left of that is a 4" gaping arch (Chastity's landmark); start below that. Climb up left on a narrow sweeping ramp just left of that arch. Continue passed a "charlie brown" tree and straight up the moat to the belay bolts on a tower. (Arthurian prose?)
