Access Issue: RAPTOR CLOSURES: MOBY DICK AREA & NO NEW ROUTE DEVELOPMENT
Details
RAPTOR CLOSURE: During recent raptor monitoring, an active raptor nest was discovered, prompting a voluntary closure of the Moby Dick climbing area off Forest System Road 18. The named routes and walls affected are Dough Boy, Queequeg’s Coffin, Cetology Wall and Edge of Starbuck. The area is closed immediately through August 15. The nest site will continue to be monitored through the summer. If you have questions, please contact Bonnie Allison, south zone wildlife biologist, at 307-684-7806 or bonnie.allison@usda.gov.
No new route development is allowed until further notice. On July 19, 2019, the US Forest Service issued a notice that it would no longer allow the installation of new bolts or the creation of new climbing routes after manufactured routes were established, then subsequently removed/altered by climbers. In addition, the bolts/fixed anchors on an estimated 50 climbs at Ten Sleep have been affected in some manner that may or may not make them unsafe to climb. The list of altered routes can be found in a drop down on the main, "Ten Sleep Canyon" homepage. The US Forest Service, Powder River Ranger District, is actively working with the local LCO, the Bighorn Climbers' Coalition and Access Fund to develop a sustainable framework for route standards and a Climbing Management Plan for the canyon's future.

Description
THIS ROUTE IS THE SHIT!!!, and it's a bummer it doesn't get much traffic as it is the very last route on the far end of French Cattle Ranch. The business is right off the ground with a stout bouldery start that lasts for about 4 bolts. Unlike the neighboring route, Team Whiny Baby, the difficulty lies in powerful long moves between decent holds. Once you're through the lower crux there is a cruiser section with even longer moves between giant pods. You will wish this could go one forever. One final crux guards the anchors and this can be a heartbreaker as the holds drastically shrink in size. DO THIS ROUTE!!
