FALCON PROTECTION

CLIMBERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

THE SUNSET WALL CLIFFS WILL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN ORDER TO PROTECT FALCONS

This is a rapidly evolving situation so I will post more information as I get it.

A lot of effort is going into helping this species reestablish itself in the park. This may be the only active nesting site for this species within the park this year so everyones' help with these efforts will be greatly appreciated.

There are many other rock climbing and bouldering areas on the Mountain that are still open. Refer to your guide books and online Beta sites. My blog has links to some of the online climbing resources for Old Rag. It would be good if you would pass the word along to your fellow climbers. If anyone has any questions please contact the park. Two of the SNP contact points that are closest to this situation are: Steve Bair, Backcountry, Wilderness and Trails Manager at steve_bair@nps.gov or or Rolf Gubler, Park Biologist at rolf_gubler@nps.gov.
