- Lion's Head

Per: Zach Taylor #656, Park Manager, Staunton State Park:
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.

About The Climb
Pull a steep roof off the ground, and flow up to the base of a dihedral roof. Surmount the roof onto a slab to the anchors.
This is an immersive 3D journey in the stellar, light gray granite unique to the Raven, compared to rest of Staunton.
- Difficulty: I am 5'2" and found that due to the nature of the roof being a corner, height played little role in the difficulty of the crux. A basic knowledge of crack climbing will go a long way in easing the difficulty of the climb.... I went back and forth between 13a/12d.
- Route development background: this is the first route permit that I applied for in the park. It was a previously abandoned route that needed cleaning, more bolts, and crux validation. Thanks to Alan Prehmus, for suggesting and to Paul Heyliger for allowing me to take on this route to completion.
Location
This is the first route in front of you when you arrive at The Raven. It is to the left of Yatagarasu and to the right of the Flight Primary routes.
