Access Issue: Potentially unavailable to climbing February through July if raptors are breeding here.
Details
This area is historically used by nesting falcons, hawks, owls or other raptors. Breeding season varies but is roughly February through July. Nesting raptors are protected by law.
If you aren't sure if raptors are breeding here, then listen and watch for defensive behavior such as screeching or diving (links to info). If raptors are breeding in this area please climb somewhere else and let other climbers know.
Pressures on wildlife can be immense and are multiplied by effects of climate change and pollutants. Choosing to climb away from nest sites reduces unnecessary stresses to the birds. Give these animals a chance to thrive.

Description
Starting on Disfigured Foreigner, climb through the crux clipping the first four chain draws. Once over the first roof, move left and finish on the crux of Oedipus Complex. Dreamed up by John Hinrichsen, this actually contains most of the hard climbing on both routes and is a rather direct, obvious line. Worthwhile if you're looking for something short but challenging or if you've exhausted the other routes on the wall.
