Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures Details

JULY 5 UPDATE FROM PARK MANAGEMENT:

ALL SEASONAL CLIMBING CLOSURES FOR CLIMBING AND SLACKLINING WILL BE LIFTED ON FRIDAY, JULY 7TH THIS WEEK.
THANKS, EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IN OBSERVING RESTRICTIONS DURING THE NESTING SEASON!

There are many seasonal raptor closures with varying dates and specific boundaries. These generally effect The Monument, Kiss of the Lepers, Picnic Lunch Wall and/or Smith Rock group, and possibly elsewhere. These usually run from February to the beginning of August, but each closure is usually shorter than this, and is dependent on the birds' behavior.

Description

If you really want to take advantage of the entire wall, Endless Summer is the perfect route for you. Start out on the cruxy 5.11 bit on Off the Wall and traverse all the way to the bucket list 5th bolt, then traverse into Lords of Dogtown just in time for all of the hard climbing! 13 bolts of fun. Back clean what you can and use slings to keep the rope running straight.

(I only had 3 bolts clipped by the time I got on Lords of Dogtown from back cleaning. Rope-drag wasn't bad. Ive also done it with every bolt clipped as well and still had no drag issues)

Location

All over the Dreamland Wall

Protection

13 bolts. Most of the traverse is fixed, although runners on a few bolts will help with rope drag.
