Laughing Man (5.11)
and
V-3 (5.7)
and
V-3 (5.7)
is temporarily closed to rock climbing.
- Do not use ascent trails or rappel routes that access this area.
- Do not use the trails at the top of the cliff in the closure area.
- Do not use the section of the climber’s trail at the base of the cliff between these routes.
- Please refrain from excessive noise making while in the vicinity of this closure.
We appreciate the cooperation of the climbing community to help protect these amazing raptors.
