Access Issue: Partial seasonal raptor closure
Details
This area is known for seasonal falcon nesting.
While signs are posted in the area, do not hike or climb routes that near the top of the crag. This includes any multipitch route, most of Armory Wall, and may include Village Wall, The Torture Chamber, and North Castle.
If you see a raptor diving or hear loud bird calls, you may be too close to the nest; please go somewhere else to climb. Disruption of falcons may keep them from nesting and could result in seasonal closure of the climbing area.

Description
Much like climbing a bedsheet ladder, the hardest part is getting on the thing. Newer, varied route on North Castle with an immediate bulge crux. After pulling the first move, transition to chossy face climbing which leads into a fun arête sequence. Finishes on a bumpy face with open cold shut anchors shared with Rapunzel's Hair. The rock here is still fairly loose and potentially hazardous to anyone below.
