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
An awkward layback (?) move above a big hueco leads to a jug, and then to the most painful, thin, flaring hand crack you've ever climbed. Maybe once was climbed on gear, but now it's fully bolted. The climbing eases off substantially after the 5.11 crux. The anchor is awkward to clip involving one last annoyingly difficult move to clip the carabiner. It's possible to hang a draw on the steely from beneath, although if you're a purist, you may not... Then again, if you're a purist you probably didn't clip the bolts either :)
This is one difficult climb.
If anyone has any more information on this route, please share!
