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
This route is 5.11 except for a very difficult bouldery crux. Needs some repeats to get a better idea of the grade. Sloping rail/crack leads to more typical Orifice big moves and Jugs. From the ledge some fun jug hauling leads to the anchors. An unlikely kneebar but bomber kneebar can be had if you have short legs. Long legged people might be able to get one but it will be tricky to get. Looks like being tall makes it easier.
