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
Start on steep flakes and head up and left on an easier arete/ramp. When you reach a huge stance look for the bolt out right - clip it and follow the line of shiny things to the chains.
The feet are huge on this route, it also has some nice jug holds for the hands! A fun and scenic outing, gets late afternoon sun (photogenic from the approach trail on the ridge).

Location
The furthest right route, starts near a huge chimney/ramp feature. Belay on either a large rock platform in the gully or on the grassy ledge just below the first bolt (short scramble to get there).
Don't walk off from the top of this route, there is a ton of loose rock above this pitch which could kill your belayer or any other parties in the area. The pitch itself is clean and fun.
