Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
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. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…
Game Plan
Trail Blazer is a two pitch route with a steep flake first pitch.
First Half. 5.11a**** Gear. A bolt protected start on steep junk quickly gives way to solid rock with two more bolts to a steep crack. Exit the crack right at a bolt. If climbing the second pitch, continue another 30 feet of 5.8 to the higher of two anchors. 90 feet to higher anchor.
Second Half. 5.10c*** Bolted. Exposed with cryptic sequences on good rock. Optional .75 Camalot. 75 ft.
"For Smith climbing to rise again, a new generation will need to not merely follow in the the footsteps of those who came before, but blaze their own trails up the golden walls of tuff." -Alan Watts
