Access Issue: Partial seasonal raptor closure
Details
This area is known for seasonal falcon nesting.
While signs are posted in the area, do not hike or climb routes that near the top of the crag. This includes any multipitch route, most of Armory Wall, and may include Village Wall, The Torture Chamber, and North Castle.
If you see a raptor diving or hear loud bird calls, you may be too close to the nest; please go somewhere else to climb. Disruption of falcons may keep them from nesting and could result in seasonal closure of the climbing area.

Description
First pitch: Lift off at a big jug and go immediately Left over the arete. Continue up to mussy hooks laying flat on a ledge.
Second pitch: Head directly above mussy hooks over a short steep section and onto a low angle arete to hooks at second anchor. A little steeper and thinner than first pitch but it's all there.
Variety of terrain through this route!
Rappel down.
WATCH OUT: Walk Left until directly beneath the anchors before pulling the rope so that it falls straight down. Otherwise you are nearly guaranteed to get a snag that you can't whip the rope out of!
This route was set on July 4th, 2016. Punny.
(Second pitch added July 2018)
