Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.
General NPS climbing regulations for RMNP posted here.

Description
This is an alternative to the old Cable Route when that ones too wet. It is often drier, even though it's mossy, and the initial belay melts out earlier.
Step left at the roof to keep the grade at 5.5. A RMNP ranger recommended this to us, and I was grateful she did. With rope stretch, a 60m will take you to a talus filled basin where you can belay. An alternate belay if you run out of rope is about 25 feet down and to the left of the main crack/corner.
Location
From Chasm View, follow the crest as is reasonable until you hit the Cable Route slabs. This is two cracks left (about 50 feet) of the Cable Route and the last crack before you would pitch into the void that is Chasm Lake Cirque, meaning: you can't really go any further left easily.
