elaine Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Prairie Falcons are nesting at the top of the Picnic Lunch Wall. You CAN climb the first pitch of several routes up to 50 meters (signage says so). The closure does not impact the Red Wall Area. The closure is in effect until mid July. Go to www.smithrocks.com for more info on the closures. Kellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaidman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Where on the Smithrocks.com site do they post the closures? I did not see them. So there are no closures on the Red Wall? Edited May 14, 2009 by Plaidman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elaine Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 http://www.smithrocks.com/flash/routeupdates/index.html Sometimes you have to surf a little to find the info.... Check out the info to the right of this page ( above) in RED text. Route Closures: Picnic Lunch Wall above 50m, Staender Ridge and the Monument/Little Three Fingered Jack area are closed February - July due to raptor nesting. I was just there over the weekend for the clean up. Several signs were along the trail near the Picnic Lunch wall area about the closure above 50 meters. We climbed two routes on the Picnic Lunch Wall ( Honey Pot and Teddy Bears), and we also got on some sport stuff near Super Slab. Parties were in line waiting for Super Slab and Moscow. So, no, there is no closure of the Red Wall Area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Now if we can only get Beacon to adhere to the same closure policies, we would be in buisness..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Now if we can only get Beacon to adhere to the same closure policies, we would be in buisness..... WDFW and WSP did in fact offer you guys that same deal at Beacon - to leave the routes on either side of the SE Corner open up to the level of the SE Corner tree - you guys swiftly rejected that offer because the tourist trail wasn't going to be closed.
