Access Issue: Access Issue: Seasonal Nesting Bird Closures:
Details
Please avoid this area during this time to allow the owls to nest undisturbed. Note: Intentionally disturbing protected species is a Federal and State crime.
The following routes on The Prow & Gold Wall will be closed April 1st - August 31st:
"Sail Away"
"Mutiny on the Bounty"
"The Prow"
"Americans at Arapiles"
"Crow's Nest"
"Powderfingers"
"Yardarm"
"Cheeseball"
"Shittn' Bricks" (on the Gold Wall)
The USFS will be frequently monitoring the Peregrine Falcons so that they can open areas as soon as possible. Successful partnership with the Forest Service biologists has allowed for closure of select routes, instead of the entire walls or crags, and we ask that climbers adhere to these closures. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to report a bird sighting, please reach out to the Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition at nazcc@nazcc.org or the US Forest Service (Kaibab National Forest) @ (928) 635-8200 and ask to speak with the Wildlife Biologist.
Description
A suprisingly fun hand crack, much more reminescent of Overlook type climbing than Forks desperados. Which makes this one of the easier leads out here.
However, there is the big chockstone in the middle of the pitch. I personally didn't touch it, preferring to straight in jam the S crack.
Stemming off the huge thing makes the climbing more reasonable. "It's so big, it can't come out."
So you either climb a really clean crack by being contrived or you take your chances.
There was a lot of loose stuff we cleaned off this thing to get it in current shape. During that cleaning a small hidden cactus was disturbed and unearthed. After replanting it, I'm happy to say it is growing great guns and has bloomed for the first time.
This was my son's first trad lead and his first FA so it made for a great time for both of us.
Dirty ledges at the bottom and very top interrupt the clean middle section (ignoring the hanging judge.) If the climb stays clean and walking over a bit of rubble to start and top out don't bother folks, then it might turn into a trade route since it's not as desperate as most things out here.
