Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure at Newhalem Crags March 1st to mid-July
Details
Peregrine falcons select nest sites on cliffs in the Upper Skagit Valley, including the Climbing Management Areas of Newhalem West (Ryan’s Wall) and Newhalem East. As required in the NPS Superintendent’s Compendium, these areas will be closed to all public from March 1st to July 15th of each year, or until the young falcons have fledged or NPS staff have determined that nesting will not occur on a specific wall during this period. Access Fund, Washington Climbers Coalition and NPS partner on a volunteer raptor monitoring program to determine nesting activity. Contact the NPS and/or WCC for updates.
Description
Bouldery climbing over a wide slot in a huge roof, followed by punchy moves to get into an awkward chimney/corner.
The name refers to a mystical device that can detect water, which would lead you to this climb that is often wet. It also is a nod to one of the original developers of the area, Rod Fox, who I always want to ask questions about their early climbs.
