Access Issue: Climbing Permit Needed-Seasonal Raptor Closure
Details
Typically Mid-February Tallulah Gorge will temporarily close the wall to rock climbing to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Climbing is expected to resume this June once the chicks fledge.
For details visit:
gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge Climbers must stop at the park's visitor center to obtain a climbing permit.
Climbing access is not allowed during whitewater releases and aesthetic water releases.
For water release schedule and further information please check the park's website,

Description
This route shares the same start as Splendor. Rather than travers left before the sloped ledge as you do on Splendor, continue up and over to stay in the corner system. Pass two small roofs in the corner to get established above into easier terrain. Folks have different opinions on which roof is the crux. Rather than climb through the root system of the tree above, step right onto the face and continue up to the shared anchor with Copperhead Row.

Protection
Standard Rack. I think I used and offset at the first roof. May not be needed.
