Access Issue: No Fixed Anchors Permitted
Details
This cliff is a Native American (Greenville Rancheria) sacred site and as such, fixed anchors are not allowed. Previously established fixed anchors have been removed. Any and all climbing should be done with natural gear anchors.
2017-2023 Seasonal Raptor Closure: Entire Cliff Area
U.S. Forest Service Seasonal Raptor Closure for Peregrine Falcon and Golden Eagle Nesting:
Moonlight Crags has a seasonal closure from Feb 1 to July 15 for a five year period in an effort to encourage cliff use by nesting raptors. This period may be extended on a year-by-year basis if fledgling birds are present later.
During this time please respect the closure buffer and avoid disturbance, keep noise to a minimum, and use your best judgment to gauge and mitigate your impact.
Successful nesting raptors will not negatively impact climbing access in the long-term, but disrespecting the seasonal closures will. Moonlight Cliffs is open to public access throughout the rest of the year.

Description
From the ground, begin on Rocket Hero Brain Man and at the 5th bolt step left and continue traversing up steeper juggy terrain past seven more bolts, with crux moves at the top. Below the last three bolts there is a great no hands rest before the crux section (endurance finish on smaller holds). Finishes on a spacious flat ledge.
Note: hard/potentially dangerous to clean route if partner does not follow, serious pendulum potential.

Location
Located at the base of The Moon near the middle of the formation, this route shares the start of Rocket Hero Brain Man but takes a more challenging leftward traverse just above steep overhanging terrain. Best to belay your partner from the ledge rather than the ground, even if not continuing up.
Rappel the route with a single 70 m rope or continue up Zero Gravity (5.7) and either walk off (exposed third class) or rappel from the anchors of Solar Wind.
