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
The Graduate is a test of technique, power and endurance, with multiple difficult sections to test your skill and determination to pass this final exam. Starting off with a low crux (slab/corner/groove thing) to establish in the layback crack. Powerfull laybacking leads you into the meat of the climb which revolves around a crimp a pinch and a deadpoint to a sinker two finger sidepull pocket off of "ok" feet. Keep hanging on and try to rest under the roof so you're ready for the tiny pockets and edges to the chains.
