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
Yellow Fin may look a little scrappy at first glance, but closer inspection reveals a true gem. The rock is mostly great, the movement wonderfully varied, and the positions wild.
After a brief stint on straightforward holds at the bottom, you're quickly forced into compression between the two aretes. I'm 5'9" with a plus 2 and was just able to make the spans. This section would be harder and likely more frustrating with a much shorter reach After an optional shake around to the right, wrestle through a few more bolts of compression before a wild palming sequence to get established in the hanging corner. Quickly turn the arete to the right and surf up fun in-cuts to the final roof looming above. Execute a wild hanging mantle onto the slab and crimp your way to chains and glory up and to the right.
