Access Issue: Falcon Closures
Details
- Lion's Head
- Roughneck Area
- Wildcatter Wall
Note that the annual closures of the Park View Dome, The Ranch Hand, Black Creek Wall, and Sawmill Crag have been permanently lifted. These cliffs will continue to be monitored, but will only close if a new nest is spotted.
Access Issue: Closure: Fire Mitigation - starting Sept. 10, 2025
Details
The closure of Raven will be in effect starting Sept. 10 as hand crews will begin felling trees in the southern area of the work zone.
Mason Creek Trail will remain open until Sept. 29th at which time helicopters should begin flying trees out down to the meadow lot area
Starting Sept. 29, closure of the Mason Creek Trail will force the closures of the Dines and Reynolds Wall areas 7 days a week (per ryan laird).
The Mason Creek Trail will be closed and a helicopter will be assisting the mitigation operations.
Description
For those looking for thuggy hand jamming out a steep overhang, this is your route!
The Beak begins on Flight Primary and ends on Flight Secondary, but it skips all of the bolts and traverses out the steep prow or beak at about mid-height.
Start with some moderate hand jamming before getting to a rest stance where the beak begins. You can plug some hand-sized pieces here in the undercling. From there, pull a very committing sequence to go under and around the beak where you'll find a crack where you can place a variety of cam sizes - I placed a purple Totem just below where you can get a solid left hand jam. Once you protect the next sequence, prepare for a burly boulder problem for a few moves before getting to the more comfy hand-sized crack. One more outro-sequence awaits you, so be sure to protect the middle of the route before topping out.
Once you pull over towards the top, you can place some finger-sized cams or even a much larger blue Camalot in the undercling. I opted for a finger-sized piece.
Be sure to extend your 2-3 pieces of gear before pulling around the corner of the beak to the left. Since you climb under the beak before going up, the extensions are nice to reduce the rope drag.
This is a tough one to grade. It's extremely tricky to figure out the roof sequence, but I think once you figure it out, it comes together quickly. Maybe it's in the 12b/c range. Hopefully other people bring a rack and give this a try! It's not the most classic route on the wall, but it is certainly the steepest and has some amazing hand jams in the beak!
