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
A true diamond among the rust, the rock on this route is surprisingly solid! Requiring minimal cleaning, the quality should only improve with more traffic. The climbing on this route is notably more physical than the standard Smith crimping. Climb up the right side of the gently overhanging arete using occasional edges on the left face. No one stopper move, but rather a building pump from consistent 5.11 climbing; though between the second and third bolt may require some thought. Shorter folks may find the start to be slightly more difficult.
Thinking it's around 11d/12a, but won't know for sure until more people get on it.
