Moro Rock (SEKI) and Chimney Rocks usually have nesting closures every year from April 1 to August 15.
As of April 2016, all routes are open to climbing.
Description
P1 - 12a, 80' - Just left of Krymptonite, climb the obvious hand crack and fist crack (10a) getting a #3 BD in the back. Easier big hands at the top with small gear available out left leads to the top of the pillar. Only quickdraws are needed from here until P4. Hard moves off the pillar (crux) leads up the arete (5.11). At the top of the pitch, go right around the corner (better) or stay left for an easier, dirtier option. Finish at a good stance with a two bolt anchor.
P2 - 11a, 80' - Continue up the right side of the arete on excellent face climbing, eventually stepping left to a stance and a two bolt anchor.
P3 - 12b, 120' - Step back right and climb up perfect white granite (5.11) to the base of the roof. Fire the improbable roof sequence (crux) or fly like Superman into free space. Climb through a rattly block (would not trundle) through steep, yet easier terrain. Once back on vertical terrain, either cut left slinging some optional horns and a single bolt eventually joining Krymptonite , or head right to join the last two bolts of Krymptonite. Belay on the big ledge on top of Krymptonite's P3.
P4 - 10b, 140' - Head up and left from the anchor, placing a few pieces of gear intermixed with bolts. Eventually gain a short arete to the top of the buttress.
P5 - Same as Krymptonite, ridge climbing leads to the next higher buttress, where it's possible to walk/scramble off.
