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.

Description
This ascends a slab with a flake system to balancy undercling traverse to dihedral ramp with large blocks in the corner.
Location
Hike Thunder Lake Trail to Lake of Many Winds, then scramble up the slabs and ramps to gain the ridge crest above (possibly low 5th Class). From here (Boulder Grand Pass), hike south toward The Cleaver, and traverse around its east side. South of The Cleaver, follow the large ledge around to the western side of the ridge, and reach the base of the technical climb(s) which provide access to the North Ridge proper.
