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
Easy moves to gain a stance below a thin-hands to hands bulge crux. Pull through this to another stance and then up a mixture of jugs and crack moves through the notch to the anchor.
Included the "R" rating from the new Watts guide, which may be for potential ledge fall and/or high first gear. Guide also mentions, "pull gently past a massive block at the top."
Location
Anchors can be accessed about 75' skiers right of the downclimb slot, located in a v-notch above a small evergreen tree at the base.
From the downclimb slot, turn right and pass a dead snag and some large boulders. The route starts in front of a small evergreen tree that is about 4' from the base.
