Access Issue: 9/30/24: Closure for Redstein area near Redstone lifted
Details
9/30/2024: the climbing closure for peregrine falcon nesting near Redstone, Colo is now over. You may see falcons in the area, and we have determined that there is no longer sensitive nest activity that needs to be protected. Thanks to everyone for supporting the nest protections for this pair by helping to get the word out to your partners, customers, and friends.

White River National Forest has established a Forest Order closing the USFS area in the Redstein climbing area until [October] 1, which includes all routes at all bands (or tiers). Signs and a map attached are posted at two access routes off CO Highway 133, along with interpretive information about peregrine falcons at a pullout on CO Highway 133.
Thank you for your help getting the word out to your partners, customers, and friends.

For the Redstein climbing area near Redstone: after discussions with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the owner of nearby private land and on behalf of these entities, the Forest Supervisor has temporarily closed an area encompassing cliffs and access on White River National Forest to provide solitude for nesting peregrine falcons and their young. The adjacent private landowner has expressed that private land is also to be closed. We anticipate this closure will extend through August and will be monitoring nest activity to provide periodic updates.

Description
God Mode is one of the best 5.14s in the country and one of the most impressive lines on the Western Slope.
This incredible long route tackles the biggest, most noticeable feature on the Second Band and maybe the whole cliff. Start by climbing 70 feet of amazing technical 5.12b (The Anvil), then bust out the 5.13 extension that ends halfway through the 40 foot roof (The Blacksmith). Cop a good rest at the chains, and hand traverse perfect edges to the base of the prow and the steepest part of the roof. Power through underclings and a perfect pocket with loads of campusing and upside down climbing to reach a bad crimp at the lip. Pull a crux lockoff to a cobble, and mantel with difficulty to a precious stance on the incredibly exposed headwall. Tiptoe up cobbles to a jug and a 1 bolt anchor at the top of the Second Band.
