Access Issue: Seasonal Peregrine Closure Details

The park closes on February 1st and remains closed until July 15th to protect nesting peregrine falcons. Their annual nesting spot is on the Shining Wall, though they can be heard year-round. Please respect the closure and DO NOT CLIMB AT MADRONE WALL BETWEEN FEB 1st AND JULY 15th. Updates to the status of the park will posted on Clackamas County Park's website - clackamas.us/parks/madronew… - and on the Madrone Wall Preservation Committee facebook page - facebook.com/madronewall/.

Description

Original Start (11c): Climb a thin seam next to a clump of madrone trees. A stick-clip is recommended. Stem off the tree as high as you can (or don't) then grab a hold way off to the left to get situated. Far-off jugs, crack technique, and a sweet undercling get you to a stance with another bolt. One final thin sequence takes you up to where the two options join.

New Start (10ish): Begin as for The Shining, climbing the face for two bolts - extend the second clip. At the blocky section before the ledge, cut hard right to another bolt before getting to the crack.

Climb up the thin crack with features to either side. Small nuts are essential through this section. Step right and then follow the thin layback crack up to the bulge. Stem out and use cool holds at the lip to pull up over it and onto the slab above. From this stance, follow the hand crack up to where you can cut right to the anchor shared with Banana Belt.

There may be an old anchor up and left that, if rebolted, could add some additional climbing to the route.
