Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Raptor Nesting Closures
Details
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. Check this site for details: smithrock.com/seasonal-clos…
Description
The Cow Pie upholds a long tradition at Smith Rock - that of forlorn aid routes being reenvisioned and resurrected as free climbs. It follows an obvious natural feature high up the wall, and offers a different experience than the typical sport route.
By far the hardest climbing comes at the start, an overhang with big holds and underclings leading you up to the corner. Once you reach the crack, decipher tricky moves over a bulge to gain a big ledge. From here, the rest of the route is relatively moderate, a mix of laybacking and varied stemming up a groove. Something about polishing a turd...
La Bouse de Vache 5.12c (low start) Begin about 20 feet down and right, as far as you can go before the holds run out. Traverse left, just inches off the ground, to a rest, then left again to reach the regular start. This silly contrivance adds two boulder problems on some nice rock. Goes reasonably without a pad, a light spot from your partner feels sufficient.
Location
This is the corner crack on the west face of the Mudpile, right behind Delerium Tremens. Starts on the left edge of the big cave, down and right of some bolted slab routes including Carla the Stripper. The easiest approach is on the lower trail along the canal, but it can also be accessed from above via Burma road and Brogan Spire. Shaded until early afternoon
