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

P1. Climb face and thin cracks up to a roof with a nice hand-sized crack under it. Move right around the roof into a wide crack. Climb straight up a right facing corner, then belay on a sloping ledge (5.9-).

P2. Step out left, then climb slab following diagonal cracks up to a ramp that leads to the next belay ledge (5.9-).

P3. Follow a big flake (BD #3) up, then step out right, and continue up easier terrain to a ledge (5.8).

P4. Move left, then head up into a large gully that continues to the top (5.7).

Descent: from the top, hike east on the ridge to find the large, south side descent ramp (3rd Class).

Location

Look for the pair of left leaning cracks in the center of the south face of the Ship's Prow. Start up the dihedral that leads to the lower right side of these cracks. This route is between Mentals at Altitude and Leaning Tower.
