Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Nesting
Details
Seasonal Raptor Nesting:
This climbing area is shared with raptors that nest on the cliffs. Help us maintain access and please avoid climbing near active nests/ledges that raptors are using. If a raptor is disturbed during nesting season it may exhibit aggressive defensive behaviors like vocalizing or dive-bombing. If you witness this behavior, retreat from your climb immediately and find a location on a different formation or a different part of the wall far enough away from the raptors that they are no longer noticeably agitated. If they remain agitated, then please leave the area immediately.
Raptor awareness is especially important during nesting season from mid-February to late May but needs to be considered through the end of August. Please report disturbed and/or nesting raptors to the Carson National Forest the appropriate district office (see below) and share relevant information here on MP. Human-raptor encounters can have negative impacts for the birds and climbers in the area. The Cason NF wants to maintain climbing access while protecting raptor reproduction and relies on climbers to recreate responsibly and share information in order to avoid the need for formal raptor closures.

Access Issue: EFFECTIVE MAY 2025 - FIXED HARDWARE AUTHORIZATION PROCESS for Taos BLM Office Land
Details
The BLM Taos Field Office implemented a Climbing Fixed Hardware Authorization Process for routes within its land management area. This includes walls in the Taos Gorge Area and at Diablo Canyon. Make sure you are clear on the process before bolting new routes! The authorization process document can be found online: shorturl.at/8Pqsm
Description
Start in a corner on the first pillar you come to immediately after crossing the creek but before the other unknown 5.9. Climb through 4 or 5 bolts of near vertical face climbing with a small overlap in the middle. Then trend left at a roof, working to a finger/hand crack that you follow up to a large roof with bolts above it. At the large roof, you can go right where there is a hidden two bolt anchor with chains to lower from. We did this variation and thought it was about 5.9. Or there are two or three more bolts of climbing that seem like they would bring you to the top of the pillar at a harder grade (we didn’t do this variation).
