Travis Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I'm not an expert, but I think it's a bit early for birds to start bonking. I'm pretty sure they need to wait 'til they're nesting, but it's usually the same place every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 last year it was in a different place though Eric. Last Year: ============ Grand Wall Closure: Due to nesting peregrine falcons, effective immediately until 31st July 2002 no climbing is allowed on the Grand Wall route above the top of the Sword (one pitch above the top of the Split Pillar). Nearby routes on both sides of the Grand Wall are also closed at about that level. The Stawamus Chief has for many years hosted a pair of nesting peregrine falcons. Even before the park was created climbers observed a voluntary nesting-season closure of routes near the nest. The nest has until now been in the area of Freeway. This year the birds are nesting in the Flats, a low-angle area the Grand Wall route passes through. Signs will be posted at various locations, noting exact details and dates of route closures. Please observe them! The many shorter routes on the lower part of Grand Wall remain open, roughly to level with the top of the Split Pillar. ======================== It's still too early in the year to know where the closure will be. It depends where George and Elsie#2 decide to nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
