Access Issue: 2024 ACCESS ALERT: Nesting Raptors - Golden Eagle Avoidance Areas
Details
Access Alert: 2024 GOLDEN EAGLE AVOIDANCE AREA
-2024 Golden Eagle Avoidance Areas: The Early Bird Crag, The Frontera, The Undertaker Wall, The Sushi Bar, The Great Chasm
Each spring Golden Eagles return to Maple Canyon for nesting. Eagles, falcons, hawks, and other migratory birds use shallow depressions on ledges, cliffs and rock walls to build nests, often returning to the same site year after year to raise their young. The United States Forest Service (USFS) requests that visitors and recreationists avoid these areas during critical nesting periods which typically start in early March and last through late August. Avoiding recreational activity in the vicinity of the nest sites along and maintaining a safe viewing distance will help ensure survival of young birds.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.

Description
One of my favorite 10a's in Maple. Hidden in the back of a small canyon at the Frontera Crag, the wall is smooth sheared off cobbles. What makes this climb so unique is the spacing of the pockets on this climb, just far enough with little in between and the pockets are all almost the same size. For me, I love the flow of this route. Slightly overhanging, you can get a pump going. Not a bad 10a for your first lead of that level. I named it Gunsmoke to keep with The Frontera theme and the feeling of your guns a smoking near the chains. Even though this climb faces south it stays in the shade throughout the early morning and back in the shade again in the late afternoon.
Location
This is in the small canyon between the two walls that are right next to the road at The Frontera Crag. In the back of this canyon is a smooth sheared wall that faces the road. This sheared wall has four climbs on it and faces south. Gunsmoke is the third climb from the left and the second from the right on this wall. The top of the wall has some maroon-colored rock.
