Yosemite National Park has yearly closures for Peregrine Falcon Protection March 1- July 15. Always check the NPS website at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/… for the most current details and park alerts, and to learn more about the peregrine falcon, and how closures help it survive.

Description
Beautiful! 30' of 5.11 fingers leads to some thin, bolted face climbing (crux). Clip more bolts up and left onto a gorgeous blunt arete, then steep stemming to an anchor at 100'.
Location
This route suffers from the fact that it is a 2nd pitch to either First Blood, or Silverback Arete, both of which are much more difficult than Sixty Forty.
The first ascent party accessed this route by climbing The Truth, then lower/swing to the left, to the bottom anchor of Sixty Forty. This is also the top anchor for First Blood and Silverback.
