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.

Description
Stick clip the high first bolt and set sail up the corner with wide crack in the back, just right of Oxymorons, to a small roof pull at the top of the corner. Jibe to the port side and coast easier terrain for a few bolts before the wall steepens again. Climb the steep terrain on good holds with great position to the anchors.
As with all new routes with just a few ascents, expect flotsam, jetsam, dirt, lichen and loose pebbles. The big dangers should all be gone, though.
