Hobophobic, Rambler's Choice, and Lucky Streak are closed for Peregrine Falcons from April 1-August 31st, unless lifted sooner. The Forest Service and Northern AZ Climbers Coalition request that climbers avoid certain routes during critical nesting periods (typically April through early August).
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service @ 928-526-0866 and ask to speak with a biologist.

Description
Right off of the ground is an unorthodox sequence to gain a perfectly horizontal edge. Next, two crispy gastons offer just enough positivity to gain a good brick hold. Move left along textured crimps to the arete past a bolt on the slab using tiny sharp dacite crimps; make it this far and take the much earned rest at the first ledge. Two bolts with alpine draws on them guard the first few moves before another crux comes with pulling the bulge at the 9th bolt; again, a great ledge and deserved rest. Two more bolts off of the second ledge and a set of anchors equipped with chains and a couple of locking biners. The 4th through the 8th bolt are all recommended to be pre-clipped using alpine draws to reduce extreme rope drag. This is easily done by climbing Hobophobic (5.11b/c) as a warm-up and equipping the route from its' anchor station.
