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
This route follows the obvious natural feature that can be seen from the parking lot (left trending roof system). It starts with easy slab for three bolts then climbs a short steep part to position under the roof system. The forth bolt is located up high near the roof due to the quality of rock. Use a long sling on this one. Undercling, lieback, head/shoulder scum, or whatever it takes to traverse left under the blocky roof (two more bolts, probably the crux). Turn over up into the left facing corner to clip the 7th bolt. Keep traversing to the left under the small roof on the face to clip the last bolt. Move left to the right facing crack system, which leads to the anchor.
*A very short quickdraw on the 6th bolt will keep your rope from rubbing the roof edge.
